What is Water storage?
Water Storage is a broad term referring to the storage of both potable (safe to drink, drinkable) and non potable (not fit for consumption) water.
Many African countries face water shortages due to drought or a lack of clean, available water. Water Reservoirs can be used to keep communities in Ethiopia hydrated by rain or grey water storage.
Private homes, small/large businesses, factories and warehouses in particular can enjoy the many benefits of saving water such as cost reduction and in an emergency situation, fire suppression.
With climate change, unpredictable weather patterns and escalating utility costs mean finding water storage solutions are essential.
Ethiopia is located in Africa’s Horn where drought and politics are two leading causes of water shortage. In a study conducted by Water.org they found that “42% of the population has access to a clean water supply” and only “11% of that number has access to adequate sanitation services”. In rural areas of the country, these figures drop even lower, resulting in health problems in the villagers as well as their animals.
In the past twenty years, droughts have affected several areas of the country, leading to ponds, wells, streams and lakes drying up or becoming extremely shallow. Many people living outside of the cities collect water from these shallow water sources, which are often contaminated with human and animal waste, worms, or disease.
In addition to illness, many Ethiopian children, especially girls, face problems with school. Statistically only 45% of kids attend primary school. The others are put to work collecting water each morning and helping their families earn money.
African Tank Systems provide portable water storage solutions which are ideal for areas in Ethiopia with known water shortages. Emergency water storage, such as rain water collection (Rainwater tanks / Rain Water Harvesting), can be used for:
In Rural areas or small farming communities, rain water helps break down compost and to keep livestock and harvests hydrated. Rain water is suitable to rinse fruits and vegetables for consumption straight from a garden or plantation.
