Project Proposal

The Sampoerna University

“NEXT

(Nacre Earmarked Xtra-ordinary Tracker)”

Proposal of RP 55-1

Sampoerna University

Jakarta

I.            Background

Water is one of the crucial source of life for animals, plantations, and especially human. People use water in every aspect of life such as usage in daily life for drinking, cleaning, and agriculture. The existence of water is extremely important in order to maintain human life cycle. Previously, the river as a source of irrigation that transported high amount of water. Then, dense forest prevented soil erosion. As a result, there were no causes of water erosion and afterwards prevent river swallowing. Water sources were easily found rather than today. Moreover, water availability quite different among places. On top of that, many high lands’ water reservoirs are located far down the valley. As a result, many people work harder in order to transfer the water uphill by bringing the water with their buckets. There are some people who have more money, in this case people with more income transfer the water uphill using the electric water pump and diesel-fuelled water pump. In connection with energy crisis, automatically affects the price of fuel and probably it also affects the cost of electricity. As the cost of energy increases, it will make people especially farmers difficult to get energy for their daily life and agriculture, because of high cost of energy. In order to solve those problems, the concept of hydraulic ram pump is applied because of its sustainability and eco-friendliness to transfer the water uphill.

II.                Objective

According to the background above, the objective of this project:

1.      Ease people to transfer the water from lower altitude to higher altitude efficiently to fulfil their water demands.

2.      Apply the use of eco-friendly and sustainable pump.

3.      Build prototype that can be used for campus activities especially laboratory activities.

III.             Expected Result

The project is a form of Science and engineering application aimed to help society in order to get water from the remote water sources by using ram pump without electricity or any fuel-generated pump. Consequently, the project makes water transfer become eco-friendly and sustainable.

IV.             Activity

The project will be conducted in Malang with a notion to fulfill society needs who are working on plantation and agriculture, but it located away from water reservoir. These are the following step-by-step program:

1.      Brainstorming

This is the first step, all of the project members identify the problem related to water, irrigation as well as Ram Pump itself. Afterwards, it continued by looking up several journals and ended by solving problem in forum and finally the project members finalize idea.

2.      Discussion (meeting 1-4)

3.      Project proposal arranging

4.      Presentation

Presentation will be conducted to present and report the planned project in order to get feedback and suggestion from the supervisor for improvement.

5.      Prototyping

Prototyping will be conducted to produce small scale of the final product of ram pump. This step started after the concept is fixed.

6.      Evaluation

7.      Location Survey

The next step is location survey in order to decide the exact place to implement the final product. This step is initialized by presenting the final prototype of ram pump to the local people.

8.      Engagement

9.      Project Execution

The final step is the real implementation of project. The final product of ram pump is built according to the situation and condition of target place.

V.                Participants and Facilitator

Facilitator: Mr. Martinus D. Kurnia Dewa, M.Sc

The participants will be the society in the remote area which have mountain farming area.

VI.             Time

The tools will targeted finish in between July and August 2016. Then will be implemented in the following week.
