A hydraulic ram, ram, dynamic pressure water ram, or water ram is a water-driven, intermittently operating pump. The ram uses the pressure surge or ram effect to lift some of the water that drives the pump to a higher level. It is particularly suitable for pumping tasks in the vicinity of watercourses with a gradient that is sufficient for operation.
