<strong>Hydraulic</strong> Ram <strong>Pumps</strong> EBAE 161-92<strong>Hydraulic</strong> Ram <strong>Pumps</strong>Prepared by:Gregory D.JenningsAgricultural Engineering Extension SpecialistPublished by: North Carolina Cooperative Extension ServicePublication Number: EBAE 161-92Last Electronic Revision: March 1996 (JWM)A hydraulic <strong>ram</strong> (or water <strong>ram</strong>) pump is a simple, motorless device for pumping water at low flowrates. It uses the energy of flowing water to lift water from a stream, pond, or spring to an elevatedstorage tank or to a discharge point. It is suitable for use where small quantities of water are required<strong>and</strong> power supplies are limited, such as for household, garden, or livestock water supply. A hydraulic<strong>ram</strong> pump is useful where the water source flows constantly <strong>and</strong> the usable fall from the water sourceto the pump location is at least 3 feet.http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/prog<strong>ram</strong>s/extension/publicat/wqwm/ebae161_92.html (1 of 9) [1/13/2005 12:43:01 PM]
