FR Cette éoliennes, ou plutôt cette pompe éolienne, comme il convient mieux de l'appeler, descendante directe de ses aînées bien connues dans les paysages du Far-West, servaient (et servent encore) à remonter l'eau située dans un étang ou sous la terre à faible profondeur, pour remplir une réserve, une citerne ou un abreuvoir à bétail.
Celle-ci en bordure de la route, fonctionne encore et alimente une ferme.
EN This wind turbine, or rather this wind pump, as it is better to call it, direct descendant of his elders well known in the landscapes of the Far West, served (and still serve) to raise the water in a pond or under shallow land, to fill a reserve, a cistern or a livestock waterer.
This one along the road, still works and feeds a farm.
