| summary | This equipment is part of several packages devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. The equipment is designed to be used with any or all of the following Oxfam water equipment: Water Pumping equipment, Water Coagulation and Disinfection equipment, Water Filtration equipment, Water Distribution equipment, Well Digging equipment, and Water Testing Kit. All are designed using available, easily transported equipment which is simple, rapidly assembled, and fully selfcontained, to provide an adequate, safe water supply at moderate cost. The principles used in these packages may often be useful in long-term development projects. The water storage equipment consists of kits for 45m³, 70m³, 95m³, and 11m³ capacity “Oxfam” tanks made with steel sheets and rubber liner, a range of lightweight rapid response PVC tanks, and a variety of complementary kits designed to assist in tank erection. | ||
