Ram pump

This is a little pump made out of 25mm plumbing fittings, some garden hoze and a 1 ltr coke bottle. The aim was to see if I could build a small ram pump to lift water up around 1-2 m out of a river to water the new trees we have planted. So far it can pump up to around 1.5m with a head of around 10cms, which is better than I expected.
