Hydraulic Ram pump answer in Mountainous Areas Problem

         Hydraulic Ram pump was made for the purpose of delivering water uphill without using fuel - Motor gasoline or Electricity. A pump that can give 24/7 water without human intervention.

        Ram pump works by pumping water through the pressure coming from the source like springs, falls, and open elevated areas. Observing its style of pumping really amazed individual because of the principle involved in it.

        Talking to expert about hydraulic ram pump said that " it is the answer in mountainous areas problem" were family member walks down the mountain and get water for drinking, bathing and washing clothes because it provides cost effective and energy saving for the farmers that wakes up early in the morning to work in there farms. So if water is near farmers houses they can increase there livelihood and income by adding vegetable garden along or within there lots.

         I went to the area were Ram pump are installed and talk to farmers whats there's story before and after the ram pump has been installed in their area. Farmers said that its a big help for them to have it because they can now take a bath, and wash their clothes everyday.

Need to do:

1. If there are area you think possible for ram pump, then contact the company that manufacture and install it for survey and technical computation of cost.
2. If the Area survey is suit for ram pump installation then make a proposal to the Local Government Units (LGU's) for assistance.
3. If the proposal was approved then that's the time that the company can install a Ram pump.


Note:
 - the cost of the Ram pump is depending on the survey of the engineer or technician visit in your area.
- the cost of the maintenance is only 1 peso per day with in the whole communities.
- there is also a technical assistance coming form the company in teaching how to trouble shoot the unit in terms of problem or in short have technology transfer.
