There are many ways to approach the removal of water from these situations. However, a lot depends on the size of the area, volume to be pumped and the condition of water eg: clean, muddy, contains chemicals or sewage.
Additionally, an evaluation will need to be done to determine the most efficient and effective power source for the pump, the best options available include electric 240v/415v, petrol or diesel driven.
As a general rule, small sumps like rainwater collection systems, ponds, and drainage pits can be efficiently pumped using a modest-sized 240-volt submersible pump. These pumps are simple to install and use, effortlessly removing water. Most of these compact electric units come equipped with a float switch, which automatically shuts off the pump when the water reaches a low level.

For permanent pumping needs, larger electric-powered units with 3-phase 415V are an excellent choice. These units can be tailored to provide the appropriate flow and pressure for the job, as well as handle various materials. For challenging tasks like slurry pumping or minesite dewatering, these electric pumps offer reliable, long-term solutions. In the case of a large sewage installation, a heavy-duty GRT series pump with a 76mm solid handling capacity (the size of a cricket ball) provides an ideal solution for managing large solids effectively.
