			<![CDATA[By the description given it is likely that the system is the remains of a hydraulic ram (hydram) a device for using the flow of a spring to pump a proportion of the spring water to a higher level.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.allspeeds.co.uk/blake-hydram/water-powered-pumps" target="_self" rel="nofollow">http://www.allspeeds.co.uk/blake-hydram/water-powered-pumps</a>]]>
