Morphology
submersible + groundwater + pump
The meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'submersible' (safe to be submerged) + 'groundwater' (water below the earth's surface) + 'pump' (machine that moves fluids), so it denotes a pump that can be submerged to extract or sample groundwater. This is a literal, non-idiomatic noun compound following transparent composition patterns common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Submersible groundwater pump paints a simple image: a pump that is submersible, so it sits 'under water' down in the groundwater. That's why the name means a machine you lower into underground water to lift or collect that water.
