  • World crisis energy make intermediate technology or alternative technology becomes main option of countries in the world in effort to manipulate energy usage where now energy supply starting being rare, including government of Republic Indonesia. There is many category of intermediate technology which very essential to using in effort to reduce energy from fossil resources, like hydraulic ram pump technology which just only using application of potential energy of water and water hammer phenomenon as main energy and mechanism of pump. Prospect application of hydraulic ram pump is very fit to using in many locations in Indonesia. Indonesia as agrarian country having rural areas where water consumption is very important cause water as main need for agriculture. In this design, researcher is using method of characteristics for designing hydraulic ram pump, which on this subject using waste valve with diameter of valve 80 millimeters, as main component of pump. Result of calculation that pressure of water hammer approximately 4,2 bars and pump capacity or flow rate approximately 0,0008 m3/s for elevation or head 10 meters.
