Applications of Blake’s Hydrams. No. IV.
Hydram worked by Water from a Brook or River, the working fall or head being obtained
from a Dam or Weir placed across the brook. The Hydram is shown raising water
to a high level service reservoir for the supply of the village.
Where the quantity of driving water available is limited and it is desirable to raise
as much water as possible, the necessary working fall may be obtained partly by damming
up the stream as shown above and partly by adopting the method shown on
page 23.
Where a Hydram is driven from a sluggish stream with only a small working fall,
the Hydram may be subject to immersion in flood time, but if the floods are only of short
duration this is generally found no great inconvenience.
