Abstract: Systems for pumping water are described. The system can include a covered pool containing a first volume of water, an oared water pump with a plurality of radial oars, an upper reservoir configured in fluid communication with the covered pool, a lower reservoir and a hydroelectric system. The oared pump can pump water from the covered pool into the upper reservoir. The upper reservoir can be configured to communicate water to the lower reservoir through the hydroelectric system with the lower reservoir configured in fluid communication with the covered pool.

Abstract: Systems for pumping water are described. The system can include a covered pool containing a first volume of water, an oared water pump with a plurality of radial oars, a reservoir and a hydro turbine system. The system can include a first portion of the plurality of radial oars that can be substantially disposed with the first volume of water contained by the covered pool and can also include a second portion of the plurality of radial oars that can be substantially disposed outside of the first volume of water contained in the covered pool. The oared pump can be configured to pump a portion of the first volume of water out of the covered pool. The reservoir can be configured in fluid communication with the covered pool, and can receive a portion of the first volume of water that can be pumped out of the covered pool by the oared pump. The reservoir can also be configured to allow a second volume of water to flow from the reservoir into the covered pool.
