The engineer Pedro González, assistant director of technological development of the entity, subordinated to the National Hydraulic Resources Institute, will be in charge of presenting the paper: Bomba de ariete, una tecnología olvidada, pero eficaz  para la distribución de agua en la agricultura, la ganadería y en comunidades rurales.

In exclusive declarations for Adelante, the researcher, graduated in 1996 in the University of Camagüey “Ignacio Agramonte“ said that the device uses the energy of the water to pump it, from rivers or from lagoons up to an elevation, and specified that with a load of one meter impulse it throws the valued liquid to a twenty times superior height.
