Hydraulic Rams

 

 

Hydraulic rams are water-powered, cyclic pumps that use the energy of a large amount of water falling a small height to lift a small amount of that water to a much greater height. In this way, water from a spring or stream in a valley can be pumped to a village or irrigation system on the hillside. Most hydraulic pumps can pump approximately one-tenth of the received water volume to a height ten times greater than the intake. Hydraulic ram pumps are useful where the water source flows constantly, and the usable fall from the water source to the pump location is at least 3 ft.
