The Problem
Unfortunately, natural disasters happen regularly all around the world. In such situations, drinking water supply is often compromised, either partially or completely. Water emergencies can also occur due to:
- Poisoning and/or sabotage of water facilities
- Vandalism and prohibited entrance
- System malfunction
People can survive days without food, but only hours without water. Lack of drinking water must be addressed immediately, and it is one of the first issues authorities need to deal with in any disaster or emergency.
Water needs to be supplied to the population and to the first responders and rescue teams. The short term objective is to supply a minimum amount of water until the normal water supply is restored.
The Solution
The BluBag™ portable water storage and distribution system (PWSDS) is a comprehensive water solution for emergency and disaster situations. It includes an advanced water bladder, with an integral food-grade inner layer, equipped with all the required accessories.
The system is easy to operate and compact to store, and can be assembled in only a few minutes. The BluBag™ water bladder provides clean and fresh water in any environment.
The proprietary food-grade inner layer keeps the water fresh and at drinking condition for many months. The PWSDS folds away and only requires very small space for storage. It can be transported easily on any vehicle – pickup, truck, trailer, etc. and can be placed directly on any type of ground (rocky, mud, etc).
Water can be delivered by the force of gravity, or by using manual or electrical pump.
