yes ordinary pumps would be the best possible alternative but our funding is limited. My idea is to collect the stormwater into a vertical drainage pipe and use the head created to power ram pumps. I am having some trouble figuring out how deep these vertical collection pipes would need to be...
Is it possible to use hydraulic ram pumps to divert stormwater up and over a levee? Army corp of engineers will not let us alter the levee at all (ie. bore through levee to install culvert)
