Excellent story by The Guardian discusses reasons for slow progress for WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) programs.

“Let’s illustrate the size of the challenge: there are 2.5 billion people without access to sanitation, 750 million without clean water, at least a billion who defecate in the open, and appalling levels of breakdown and failure of existing infrastructure. What is often forgotten is the projection that the world will have an additional 1.5 billion people by 2030 and almost all of them in the developing world. All this is estimated to cost about $47bn a year, according to the World Bank.”

Options for differing situations will consider water supply pressure and water supply capacity.
WatrWise™ Storage reserves water for you, supplying water during peak demand, emergency demand and service and supply interruptions; lowering water demand challenges for water systems.

Water is cycled (replaced) every time you use water reducing incidence of stagnation.
