The Shaduf, an Ancient Egyptian Watering System

Image
The Shaduf, an Ancient Egyptian Watering System ‎The shaduf, an ancient irrigation device still in use, consists of an upright frame on which is suspended a long pole. At the long end of this pole hangs a water container, while the short end carries a counterweight. With an almost effortless swinging and lifting motion, the waterproof vessel is used to scoop up and carry water from a water source to an irrigation channel or another vessel. A shaduf can raise over 660 gallons (2,500 l) per day. ‎ Gen 13:10, Prov 11:25, Isa 58:11, 1 Cor 3:6–8
