Turbine pumps have a high head and high discharge pressure for their size and speed. They are typically used for water or fluid extraction in well applications. Turbine pumps are used for agricultural applications such as irrigation, for pumping water in fire suppression systems, for groundwater remediation or for wastewater treatment. Some types of turbine pumps are used in residential applications, such as a liquid pump used to pump water from a drilled or dug well.
