Water pumps come in a variety of sizes and designs, and can be powered either by electricity, gasoline, or diesel. Electric water pumps are the most common type used in residential and commercial applications, while gasoline and diesel-powered pumps are more commonly used in agricultural, industrial, and emergency applications.

The most basic type of water pump is a centrifugal pump, which uses an impeller to draw water into a spinning chamber and then force it out the other side at a higher pressure. This type of pump is often used for transferring water from a lake or river to a higher elevation, or for providing pressure in a closed system like a sprinkler or irrigation system.

Other types of water pumps include submersible pumps, which are designed to be placed underwater, and jet pumps, which use a combination of suction and pressure to draw water from a well. Submersible pumps are usually used to bring water from a deep
