How to lift water from 2 m to 5 m height using hydraulic ram pump?

I'm afraid that I don't have a great deal of knowledge about Ram Pumps and have not worked with them in the field, but they are very simple and normally easy to use.

I suggest that Binaya have a look at "A Handbook of Gravity Flow Water Systems" by Thomas D. Jordan Jnr. ISBN 0-946688-50-8 pages 154 - 157 as a first step. whilst the book is out of print, there is a website where you can download it (please click here).

Hi Would need a bit more information to make any sensible contribution! Photos? Diagrams? Best

Not sure Practical Action Publishing would agree that Gravity Flow Water Systems is out of print, see: https://developmentbookshop.com/handbook-of-gravity-flow-water-systems-pb Best reference I know however for hydraulic ram pumps is: https://developmentbookshop.com/water-lifting-devices.html The great strength of the latter book is that the authors are not advocating any one system, simply outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each to inform decisions. I would be happy to scan and share relevant pages if publishers would give RedR permission. Best

Unfortunately we cannot give permission from the publishers but we hope the links provide useful.
