View source for Pump (Water Overlay)

Pumps are Buildings which can move water against its natural flow. Specifically, a pump with a positive pump speed will pump water from the entry point with a lower [[water level (Water Overlay)|water level]] to the entry point with a higher [[water level (Water Overlay)|water level]]. If no (differing) water levels are defined, the [[terrain height (Water Overlay)|surface height]] is used instead.

The pump's direction does not change during the simulation.

|notes=
* A negative value for the [[Pump q (Water Overlay)|PUMP_Q]] attribute is also allowed, in which case water can be pumped in the reverse direction. Sometimes referred to as ''draining''.
* If a pump is placed in a waterway, and the waterway is not otherwise interrupted, water will be able to flow past the pump via the waterway itself. It is recommended to make sure that the waterway is obstructed by an increase in the [[terrain height (Water Overlay)|terrain height]] in such a way that the only way water can flow from the one end of the pump to the other is via the pump.
