Firstly, borehole pumps is used to extract water from a borehole. Boreholes are narrow shafts drilled vertically into the ground. The holes are made using a drilling rig that creates a borehole with specific dimensions. So that the pump can fit through with very little clearance on all sides.

Secondly, these pumps (additionally also known as well pumps, bore pumps and water bore pumps) are used to draw water from an underground source, namely from a drilled borehole well or a dug well.

Thirdly, these pumps are designed for borehole and submersible pressure systems, and vary depending on the hole depth, and the required flow rate and pressure (head). 

Lastly, larger pumps are generally used for major irrigation applications which require large flows. Smaller versions are also available and typically used in domestic applications where the property cannot connect to the central water supply.
