CHALLENGE: Water has a high risk of contamination if it is an unprotected source. Enclosed water storage is crucial to reduce the risk of water contamination. Often in rural areas surface water is unprotected and likely to be contaminated. Even groundwater, is at risk if surrounding pumps and/or toilets are not water-sealed.

ASD SOLUTION: Ferro cement tanks are viable appropriate solutions to create better water protection and storage and can be built from easily accessible materials.
