How was the overshot wheel an improvement over the undershot wheel?
The overshot wheel was an improvement over the undershot wheel because it allowed for creating more force on the water so the wheel moved faster. The undershot wheel has a drag factor because water is gotten at the bottom of the wheel and has to be carried up to the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel has water flowing into the buckets at the top of the wheel forcing it downward.
How does an undershot water wheel work?
In an undershot water wheel, the wheel turns as a result of the weight of the water. The water flows into the wheel, stops and then when the wheel turns the water flows out underneath the wheel. It is used when you do not have a big head of water. In the overshot wheels the water pushes the wheel and then flows over the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel uses both the weight and the momentum of the water and so are more efficient and powerful.

How a Egyptian waterwheel works?
The Bible says the Hebrews watered their gardens "with thy foot". They walked a water wheel to raise water from a canal up to an irrigation ditch or sluice. So as not to walk in the water, they built an inner wheel ("a wheel within a wheel"). The larger-diameter wheel carried buckets down into the canal. These tipped at the appropriate height, spilling water into the ditch which would carry it to the field.
