Reverse overshot water-wheel

Frequently used in mines and probably elsewhere (such as agricultural drainage), the reverse overshot water wheel was a Roman innovation to help remove water from the lowest levels of underground workings. It is described by Vitruvius in his work De Architectura published circa 25 BC. The remains of such systems found in Roman mines by later mining operations show that they were used in sequences so as to lift water a considerable height.
==Vitruvius==

The Roman author Vitruvius gives explicit instructions on the construction of dewatering devices, and describes three variants of the "tympanum" in Chapter X of De Architectura. It is a large wheel fitted with boxes, which in the first design, encompass the whole diameter of the wheel. Holes are bored in the boxes to allow water into them, so that as a box dips into the water, it enters and is raised as the wheel turns. When it reaches to the top of the turn, the water runs out into a channel. He then describes a second variant where the boxes are only fitted to the ends of the wheel, so that although the volume of water carried is much smaller, it is carried to a greater height. The final variant is an endless chains of buckets, and much greater lifts can be achieved, although greater effort is needed.
