Abstract
This paper presents one of the many efforts made by the Faculty of Engineering and the Institute of Production Innovation of the University of Dar es Salaam towards the realization of the International Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. Special reference is made to the use of hydraulic rams along with some simple water treatment methods. Besides the account of theoretical and practical work done to-date in the field of water supply, a further evaluation of the theoretical model presented is recommended so as to enable a judgement of the present hydraulic ram designs to be done. Tests on a typical locally made hydraulic ram which should lead to better marketing of possibly an improved design accompanied by performance charts can be easily done.
