Also known as ''dhenkli'' or ''picottach'', the counterpoise lift is generally used for lifting of water from unlined wells, stream or pond for irrigating small fields. It consists of a lever rod supported at a suitable point on a vertical post about which it can swing in vertical direction. About 2000 1itres of water can be lifted from the depth of 2 to 3 metres in one hour.
