Noria

So, let's pretend you have a lot of water you need to move from one place to another. Maybe you want to water your garden or fill up a swimming pool. You could use a bucket to carry the water, but that would take a really long time and be really tiring.

That's where the noria comes in. A noria is like a big wheel with buckets on it. Imagine a Ferris wheel at an amusement park, but instead of people getting on and off, there are buckets attached to the wheel.

When the noria turns, the buckets scoop up water from one place and then move it to another place. It's like a continuous circle of water moving!

Norias have been used for hundreds of years in different parts of the world, and they're still used today in some places where people need to move water from one place to another. It's a simple but clever invention that helps people get the job done more efficiently.
