Schematics of an ideal sakia. Sakias range in diameter from two to five metres. Though traditionally driven by draught animals, they are now increasingly attached to an engine. While animal-driven sakias can rotate at 2–4 rpm, motorised ones can make as much as 8–15 rpm. A sakia can pump up water from 10 metres depth, and is thus considerably more efficient than a shadoof.
