I know noria is the word, but some Spanish speakers I know do not know this word. In your experience is noria the common term?

I'm from Spain, and everybody knows the word.

My friend from Colombia said reuda de la fortuna
is the term used there too. He never heard the term noria.

A "noria" here is a waterwheel, which is rather associated with colonial and some rural water systems, so it's a word that we don't use much, as the object itself is rarely seen. :)

Yo conozco la noria como un pozo de agua que se saca con un balde amarrado a una cuerda.

Es verdad, también eso es una noria. Puedes encontrarlas en pozos o en centrales elécticas.
