Question

How is water pumped up using electricity? How is water lifted without electricity?

Answer 1

water is pumped up by a electric motor which electrical energy in to mechanical energy and does work againt the force of gravity to lift the water upto a certain height

without electricity water can be lift manually using a bucket attached to one end of a movable pulley . the pulley reduces effort .

Answer 2

using electric motor water can be pumped up.
motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
without doing work against the force of gravitation we can not pump water up.

plants use capillary action to get water from soil with the help of roots
