the fuel and maintenance costs of operating a conventional pumping system using
diesel or gasoline engines are becoming prohibitive for many developing countries.
In many parts of the world, villages are situated above the spring:
it does not allow water to flow to compounds by gravity. For example, in Brgy.Ticugan,
Loon , Bohol where there is a proposed resort situated upstream the closest source of
water. A pump is needed to lift the water from this source to the resort. So the
researchers intend to install a Ram Pump System ( RPS) to supply the reservoir of the
resort.
uses readily available, renewable energy ( a drop in water level of at least 1-2 meters in
a flowing stream ) and has only two moving parts that can be manufactured and
using a hydraulic ram pump in order to lessen the resorts utility expenses such as
1. Is the springs flow rate enough to supply water demands in the resort? If not,
resort. This will minimize the energy consumption caused by using an electric-powered
pump and will also help in the preservation of the natural springs in the site. The
1. Become the first resort in Bohol to introduce a hydraulic ram pump in the water
system.
2. Be able to supply enough water to the resorts daily usage.
3. Conserve the nature of Brgy. Ticugan which source of water is a spring.
This study is applied only to the water system in Danicop Spring Resort.
Further research will be conducted in Holy Name University- Dampas Tagbilaran, City
Bohol and it will last this 2nd semester of school year 2016-2017.
The researcher will emphasize the following: calculations of the applied
fluid mechanics and hydraulics to the water system, the structural design of tanks and
its supports, and analysis of per capita water use in the resort.
-seismic analysis
-geotechnical analysis
Definition of Terms
Spring
It is a point where water flows out of the ground.
Waterworks
It is the system of reservoirs, channels, mains, and pumping
distributed.
Local Community
A group of interacting people sharing an environment.
Water Ram
A cyclic waterpump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at
one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a
Waste valve
It produces pressure pulses to pump a small amount of water out of
Delivery pipe
Drive pipe
A pipe that is used to deliver water from source to ram pump
Air chamber
Discharge valve
It is a device that monitors and controls the flow of water from its
Pipe
It is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily
of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow---- like
water.
It is the water that needs to go out in the hydram for the pump to
work.
Feed water
It is the water that will come inside the hydram to be used in the
committee for security constraints( i.e. children playing, thieves attracted by bolts
and nuts). It also support the hydram pump from shocks caused by water
hammer effect.
Impulse valve
It is the part that allows the water to create continuous water
hammer effects.
Delivery valve
It allows water to go from the pump body to the air vessel and
