      Una noria como la hallada se denomina de sangre porque era activada mediante tracción animal, generalmente una caballería uncida a un gran guión de madera conectado al mecanismo circular, repleto de cangilones que, incrustado en el suelo, acarreaba el agua que la alimentaba desde un pozo enclavado en el subsuelo.
