Spanish term

pozo para extracción de agua

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
Hi all,

I'm not used to translating this area and I'm not sure about the translation of this.

I translated "Pozo para extracción de agua" and "bomba extractora de agua" as "water extraction well" and "water extraction pump", respectively. Do you agree? If not, I'll be very thankful if you could make some suggestions.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Warm regards,

Laura :-)

well or water well

Usually a well is a water well but if it is any other type you must specify it, oil well, salt water well, etc.

water extraction well

Obviously, you haven't included the original context, but this sounds right to me

sounds fine

sounds fine to me. Well might not be the best choice of words if you are talking about a machine. container/resevoir/repository/hole might be better in this case.
