pumped water
However, I've seen it in the context of pumped storage reservoir and Pumped-storage hydroelectricity
Note from asker:
| Thank you shakhar. I don't think it's "just" pumped water |

: In the total lack of context, I think it's pumped from the acquifer for agri use vs. HaMovil HaArtzi for household use

drawn water
water that has been in a receptacle such as a bucket is disqualified for use in a Mikva. If, for example, one drew water from a well with a bucket and placed the water in a hole in the ground, the water would be considered Mayim Sheuvim (drawn water).
