Having clean and pure water to drink is a major issue in some parts of the world. Many of the poorer countries in the Global south have plenty of rainfall, yet many don’t have ready access to pure water.
In his blog, cited above, Dr. Owen Geiger says: “Indonesia has some of the most contaminated rivers and groundwater sources in the world. Yet much of the country receives more than 200cm of annual rainfall that goes virtually unused. CoRe Solutions has perfected a locally appropriate method for constructing high quality Ferro-cement rainwater harvesting tanks that are empowering Indonesia’s people to tap into this sustainable clean water source.”
Saving a resource like pure water is very important. Suitable/affordable tanks for water storage fill a definite need, and can be a profitable business.
Here is another great rainwater storage tank.
