In today’s world water is of a great concern to the human beings because we can’t survive without it. Hydraulic ram can be one of the solutions to this problem of a mankind. Mostly in India where villages are situated far away from the water source it is not possible to the people living there to go miles away carrying away the buckets of water. Especially at those places this pump has a much utility because it is cheap, without electricity and easy to maintain. As it requires no external energy other than kinetic energy of flowing water it can be considered as a pump which uses Renewable energy. Though the pump is in use since long time, it is not seen in common forms for lots of its performance limitations. This type of pump is truly a blessing to the rural areas, farmers and middle class for its zero running cost. The paper after study the literature available, aims to present generalised design methodology for hydraulic ram pump (HYDRAM) covering design parameters, design procedure along with the mathematical relationship used for the design work.
