need a pump that is able to suck water from underground pit
with a flowrate not less than 143m/h.
 
lwazi:

You are telling us that you need a fairly common size, vertical, well pump.

Do you want us to know something else?

Is there any piping system involved? Or you just follows what Montemayor said.

As the flow rate is quite high, i think it has to be a centrifugal pump. Now, the choice depends on the readily available pump manufacturer's specification. Better consult any textbook. find out about NPSH and other stuff.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN!!
