| Domain | Definition |
Building & Civil Engineering | A wooden or metal trough which oscillates on a fixed centre, so that one end is alternately depressed into the water and raised above the level of delivery, the weight of water is equalized by a counterbalance, so that a man, who stands over the water on a plank, can depress the end of the doon into the stream with his feet, and then, by stepping on the plank and lifting slightly with his hands, can slope the trough towards the point of delivery, and thus enable the water to run into the channel. This device is used in some parts of India for very small lifts. Source: European Union. (references) |
