A hydraulic ram, or hydram, is a cyclic water
pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one "hydraulic head"
(pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic
head and lower flow rate. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started.
