I'll correct a previous post: The tanks are 100cm each; one is beloww and the other is 100cm off the ground. Sorry! To use the hydraulic ram pump near a stream or river, will the flowing water have to be intercepted? I mean how will we capture it? Also, if the waste is collected in a...

The Venus Flytrap, like most carnivorous plants, meets its nitrogen requirements by trapping insects and digesting them. What will happen if this plant grows in nitrogenous soil? Will it even grow in such soil? If it grows will it stop trapping insects? Thank you

Yes, I overlooked some parameters there. The flow rate, on an experimental basis, is 3-3.5 l/hr. The water needs to be lifted up 300m. The container from which the water is going to be lifted up is about 100m high and the container above is 100m off the ground, and it is itself 100m high. The...
