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.
