Abstract:
In many parts of the world, villages are situated above the spring: it does not allow water to flow to compounds by gravity. For example, in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, Indonesia, 70 percent of the population lives upstream the closest source of water. A pump is needed to lift the water from this source to their compound.
The Hydraulic Ram Pump (Hydram) stays away from these constrains:
The source of energy of this technology is the water itself and gravity. It has a low cost maintenance cost;
It works as long as water is available;
The pump has very few moving parts that are simple to produce locally and to maintain by the community itself.
