General
Irrigation farm in Italy. A man and two small children are standing next to a Nubian water wheel. It is a vertical wheel bearing a number of pottery vessels. When the wheel spins in the water, the pottery vessels are filled with water and then poured into the basin to be irrigated. This wheel is connected to another wheel parallel to it and has wooden gears clipped in the wheels of another horizontal wheel. The animal is connected to the arm. When the animal revolves around the last axis of the wheel, the stem rotates accordingly. Italy.
