A midwestern wind pump in Arlington, Indiana .

On US farms, particularly in the midwest, windpumps of the type pictured were used to pump water from farm wells for cattle. Most pumping today is done by electric pumps, and only a few windpumps survive as unused relics of a previous technology.

There are many windpumps in The Broads National Park, in both the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk Broads.
