1. Hydraulic Ram Pump
Centre for Rural Technology, Nepal (CRT/N) www.crtnepal.org 10 December 2012

2. Introduction
a large flow of water falling through a small head, to lift a small flow of water through a higher head.
The main virtue of the hydram is that its only moving parts are two valves, and it is therefore mechanically very simple.
• A hydram is an automatic pumping device which uses…

4. Potential applications
• Household water supply and sanitation (Can serve a single house or a medium size community)
• Irrigation (small – medium scale) – more likely for cash crops (vegetables, fruit trees, etc.)
•Supporting livelihoods (eg. Cattle rearing, fishponds, lemongrass tea production, etc.)

5. CRT/N and Hydraulic Ram Pump
•CRT/N has Implemented 12 Hydrams
•3 units in Ramechhap district with support from SARI/E, USAID
•4 units in Dhading district with support from Renewable world ,UK
•5 units in Far west ( Dadeldhura, Achham, Baitadi and Doti)

6. Impact of HYDRAM
On hygiene and Sanitation
Project: Mahadevsthan Hydram project
Implemented on Pipal Bhanjyang HSS
584 students and 16 teachers are benifited
Female student presence rate increased
Health issues is solved
School and its surrounding’s environment is clean and healthy

7. Impact of HYDRAM
HHs level DWS
•Salyantar and Sunaula bazaar DWS projects
•Lifted water to 150m of vertical height and save the time of 60 HHs to fetch water
•6 hrs a day per HHs has saved
•Reduced drudgery of housewife and female children
•Children can go to school regularly
•Improve health and sanitation

8. Impact of HYDRAM
•Micro irrigation
•Project: Muralibhanjyang hydram micro-irrigation project

•Off season crop are promoted
•Reduced the conventional way of
cropping pattern

9. Learning
• The complex socio-cultural, geo-political and socio-economic factors affecting water resources and sanitation management in low-income and middle-income society
•Community contribution is key factor for sustainable project run
•MUS project and endues diversified project last for long period

10. Mountain, Irrigation, Water supply and Sanitation
–Isolated and scattered villages/households
•Water supply investments are high
•Access to energy is problematic
–availability,
–Reliability
•Thus electric pump are not a reliable option
–High inbound and outbound logistic
•Conventional fuels are expensive
•Erratic supply of inputs
•Spare parts based technology are problematic
–Economy is not monetized
•Ability to pay cash /Poor in terms of cash availability
•Cash flow is not stable and regular
–Problem in regular fee payment
