Pumps are constructions which can move water against its natural flow. Specifically, a pump with a positive pump speed will pump water from the entry point with a lower water level to the entry point with a higher water level. If no (differing) water levels are defined, the surface height is used instead.

The pump's direction does not change during the simulation.

Icon Key Unit Range Description Default value
Waterwizard icon pump q.png PUMP_Q m3/s The speed at which water is pumped from the lower end-point to the higher end-point. n/a
Waterwizard icon angle.png PUMP_ANGLE geo angle (0-360°) -1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308 The top down orientation angle of the pump. 0
Waterwizard icon inlet capacity.png INLET_CAPACITY m3 The maximum amount of water which can flow in or out through this Building. Water flowing back in the other direction replenishes the capacity. 0

Notes

  • A negative value for the PUMP_Q attribute is also allowed, in which case water can be pumped in the reverse direction. Sometimes referred to as draining.
  • If a pump is placed in a waterway, and the waterway is not otherwise interrupted, water will be able to flow past the pump via the waterway itself. It is recommended to make sure that the waterway is obstructed by an increase in the terrain height in such a way that the only way water can flow from the one end of the pump to the other is via the pump.
