The stream near the Dogs Home is just a trickle so I do not think it could host a water ram. And I do not think the Amazon River itself would have been dammed for a water ram. But there would have been some Lake District water rams in suitable locations?
I think the comment by Nancy about the dowser who found water for Beckfoot is conclusive (in Pigeon Post; PP13) and that Beckfoot had a pump from a spring or well, like the Tysons.
In Wellington, New Zealand in the late 1940s our family home had two circular corrugated tanks filled off the roof, until Johnsonville became part of Wellington City.
Beckfoot had a “reticulated” telephone from the Fellside Exchange, but no reticulated water, gas or sewerage so would have relied on its own resources!
