During our recent Permaculture Design Course, Jeroen took the participants through the theory and practice of RAM pumps. With a small stream at the bottom of our property, these are invaluable at Casalinho in lifting water to where we can use it.

Components can be easily found in a DIY / plumbing shop

This pump, made from a fire extinguisher tank, lifts water to tanks by the road where it’s used for irrigation.
