Abstract
A drainage water pumping system. A number of drainage pumps are positioned at two different levels. Drainage water flowing into a drainage water pumping system from an underground inflow main pipeline is pumped to a discharge destination. Preferably the drainage pumps installed at the lower installation level have a high pump head and a small capacity, while the drainage pumps installed at the higher installation level have a low pump head and a large capacity. The drainage pumps can be in a circular arrangement with a congregated delivery pipeline installed lengthwise at the center of the circular arrangement and having each of the drainage pumps connected to it.
