What Wikipedia says

The water organ or hydraulic organ (Greek: ὕδραυλις = ὕδωρ + αυλός / αυλη; early types are sometimes called hydraulos, hydraulus or hydraula) is a type of pipe organ blown by air, where the power source pushing the air is derived by water from a natural source (e.g. by a waterfall) or by a manual pump.
