The final piece of our water and irrigation exhibit is here. This aesthetic archway features cutaway models of the both the line shaft and submersible turbine pumps used for irrigation on the South Plains and beyond. Buttons activate each pump, bringing it to life, so visitors can see and understand how these pumps bring underground water to the surface. Lights mirror the water’s movement from the pumps to the fountain in the center. Visit the museum today to learn more about irrigation, major crops, and the importance of agriculture in our daily lives.
