EZpack Water System Setup for a Village of 1,000 Inhabitants in Africa
11/07/16
Water distribution and transportation in Africa has always been major issue for many many years.
Water is supplied from rivers, wells or reservoirs to villages by pumps or hauling from a very long distance by tracks or pickups.
The task of getting water usually falls on the shoulders of women and children and it consumes a great deal of their time on a daily basis.
The EZpack water storage systems present an effective method for water distribution within the villages all the way up to the family huts connecting the bladders with standard flexible water pipes.
The EZpack Water System Setup for a Village of 1,000 Inhabitants
- Central water storage that contains two EZPack bladders (for backup reasons) in parallel.
- Recommended volume of single bladders should be calculated by 10 liter per day per person. The village will need 10,000 liter bladder. For backup reasons an array of 5,000 liters is recommended.
- One flat-bed truck (7 meter) will be used for delivering the water from the central storage to the 500 liter bladders. Using the EZPack Truck Module the truck will carry 12,000 liter. On the truck will be installed 500 liter/minute fuel pump
- The family (4-5 huts) storage should be calculated by the same rule. So a family habitat of 25 members will need 250 liters per day. A bladder of 500 liter is recommended.
The total count for such a village will therefore be –
- 4 bladders 5,000 liter (central)
- 40 bladders of 500 liter (one per family)
Pumping and Piping
- A fuel power pump of 500 liter / minute.
- The pump will be used to elevate the water from the river water level.
- No additional pumping is needed since in most flat areas a proper design can use gravity as the best mean to transfer water from the main reservoir to the family water storage.
- EZPack developed a modular set of aluminum stages that can carry 2000, 3000, 5000 or more liters bladders. The cost of those items is very affordable but and some parts might be possible to produce locally.
- Pipe lines and accessories (like taps) are all standard water approved system
- Since the bladder by its nature has a large foot print, the pressure on square meter of ground is very small and it does not require any expensive preparation. (leveling the ground is required).
Water Quality
EZPack bladders are closed (the nature of water bladders) and it requires no maintenance. The insert is made of food-graded materials. From time to time, the inner liner can be replaced and by that ensure high quality water storage and distribution.
