Water is a scarce commodity on the African continent as a whole. The severity of the situation has been brought to the forefront by the recent Coronavirus pandemic. South Africa has reached a crisis point when it comes to water supply. It is already a semi-arid country that has faced the impact of drought and climate change will make drought even more frequent in the future.
There are six reasons why steel water storage tanks are suitable for the water supply crisis in South Africa:
• As they are modular in design they can vary in size.
• They can hold up to 50 million litres of water at a time – far more than plastic tanks can.
• As they can hold so much water they don’t have to be filled up daily and can service the needs of larger amounts of people.
• The tanks can have multiple taps reducing the amount of time people wait to get water.
• They are manufactured from high quality steel and can withstand certain temperatures resulting in tanks that last for over 50 years.
• The water they hold is hygienic as the sun’s rays cannot penetrate the steel causing algae build-up.
Heunis steel water tanks are the perfect solution for a looming water supply crisis in South Africa.
