Talk:Noria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Term for water wheels of Syria and Jordan. [[User:Noisy|Noisy | Talk]] 13:34, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A NORIA is not a synonym for water wheel, it is a very specific type of machine that uses all the energy it receives from the flow of water to lift a portion of that water, usually to fill an aqueduct that then slopes away to deliver water elsewhere. Noria are more common in dry lands with large, fast rivers of little slope (like Syria and Jordan for example) but are found all over the world.

I understand how the water is lifted, but how is it transferred to the aqueduct?Derek Andrews 01:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

There's a nice illustration of how the water is transferred to the aqueduct in "Bucket elevators, Persian wheels and Norias" [1]. Could we get that image or a similar illustration of how a noria works into this article? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 04:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Does a Norea work with the force received from tidal water? Because tides come two times a day and the magnitudes of the force are not equal during a tide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nurul Hasan Mahmud-Scientific officer-BRRI.
