There are no waterpumps for the same reason there is no gunpowder, no 
Air Elemental turbine, and no undead powered automobiles.  Because if we 
had them we wouldn't be playing AQ anymore, we would be playing 
something else.  AQ is designed to be a fantasy game with a sword and 
sorcery feel...which influences the solutions people in the setting 
gravitate towards.  For example, my priest of Anubis could easily build 
an undead powered automobile (measuring horsepower relative to the 
number of actual undead horses under the hood).  But, he has spent his 
whole life in a fantasy world, and has no concept of an automobile, so 
tacking a pair of fuzzy dice to the sternum of a Draco to go cruising is 
a more natural thing for him to come up with.
