With an average wind speed of 2.67 m/s I am designing a wind turbine which will pump a 1m head of water. I have calculated from the size of my turbine I will be able to pump a volumetric flow of 0.219m^3/s. This is where I am stuck.. I cannot calculate the size of pump which I will need. Can anyone help me on this?

Do you have any other details regarding the pump set up?
