|PAT quality check=Yes
|PAT Name=Wind Pumps
|PAT Picture=Wind Pump.jpg
|PAT Type RE=Renewable Energy
|PAT Description=Wind pumps use wind energy for lifting water. Wind pumps can be used to drain land, or for agricultural purposes. Typically wind pumps for irrigation lift water from ground water sources. In the United States steel blades and steel towers replaced wooden construction, and at their peak in use in 1930, an estimated 600,000 units were in use, with capacity equivalent to 150 megawatts. Wind pumps are robust technologies that have a value on all farms with accessible groundwater.

|PAT Economics=Wind pumps are good economic investments. They are robust, long lasting technologies. They can work for years on end with little to no maintenance. They are also an inexpensive option for pumping water in rural locations compared to many other water pumping options.
|PAT Technology Development Level=Wind pumps are well developed technologies. They have been in use for more than ten centuries. The design has been refined and made stable over this time.
|PAT Maintenance=Wind pumps have low technical maintenance requirements. They can be maintained with less common tools by trained personnel.
|PAT Infrastructure=Wind pumps require a manufacturing base for raw steel and some specialized parts. Welding and fabrication are required.
|PAT Required Resources Manufacture=Steel, Lubricants, Anti-Corrosives;
|PAT Required Resources Operation=None;
|PAT Deployment Level=Wind pumps have been deployed worldwide.
|PAT Deployment Capability=Wind pumps require a moderate technical manufacturing base and trained personnel for implementation. However, the technology is well known and can be deployed wherever groundwater and wind is available.
|PAT Requirements for Deployment=Teams to assess groundwater accessibility to unconfined aquifers are needed.
|PAT Relevance Autonomy=Windpumps can be keystone technologies for farms or communities. They can have tremendous positive impacts for many years. Wind pumps are energy independent.
|PAT Environment Impacts=Low emissions; Indirect emissions are required for manufacture. Additionally, wind pumps should be deployed at unconfined aquifers and water withdrawals should not exceed natural replenishment rates.
|PAT Bio-Cybernetic=Yes;
