ABSTRACT:
A practical, economical and self-sustaining irrigation system for extensive arid regions utilizes a network of hydraulic ram fitted gravity-feed water tanks connected in series. Ram exhaust water is fed into irrigation pipes or ditches along the system. Ram elevated water in the tanks of the system is gravity fed from each tank to the next downstream ram. The first ram in the system is fed from a natural water source or dam. A complete system may include several natural or dammed water sources each feeding a downstream network of rams and tanks. Electrical power can also be generated in the system at least at the initial and secondary sources of water.
