Hydraulic Ram Pump

In this installment of the Living Mountain Lab (previously known as “Knowledge Park”) video series, we explore the working principles and benefits of hydro-ram pumps.

Hydro-ram pumps hold potential for enhancing agricultural productivity in the Hindukush-Himalaya region. Utilizing the kinetic energy of flowing water, they offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for irrigation. They can alleviate the need for manual water transportation and increase the accessibility of remote water sources. As climate change is exacerbating issues of water scarcity in the Hindukush Himalaya region, sustainable pumping solutions emerge as a key adaptation strategy and important factor in agricultural resilience.
