We recently realized a small low pressure hydraulic ram (40 cm water column).

A hydraulic ram makes it possible to pump water from a waterfall or a watercourse (in our case) in a very simple, sustainable way and at a very low cost.

The system, more than 200 years old, could be widely used to fight against desertification and undernourishment in certain regions of the world ... unfortunately, it is apparently not (or no longer) taught in schools ...
