Project Name : Low Cost Water Lifting Device
Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation
As we all know that most of the villages in north eastern part of India are located in hilly terrain and water gathering is a perennial problem here. In this project an attempt has been made to lift the water uphill using the hydraulic ram. A hydraulic ram is a simple motor less cyclic pump run by hydropower (water pressure). First a diversion is made from a nearby river located downhill to a reservoir and the water is let flown though a drill pipe. The water comes with a pressure through the drill pipe. When the water comes it raises the pressure valve and the spring pushes it down causing the delivery valve to rise and water fills up the air chamber up to a certain level leaving some space for air. When all this is completed the pressure valve rises up absorbing the water from the pipe and when the spring pushes the valve down forcing the water to move uphill through the delivery pipe. The water can be
stored in a tank or can be used for irrigation. This cycle will continue as long as supply of water is undisrupted.
Some of the advantages are:
It will pump water as long as water pressure is there.
It is cost-effective and very efficient.
Easy to install and has user friendly features.
