RE: If Water Storage is a Problem, Damsak is a Solution

in #palnet3 years ago

Interesting sizable storage system for water, how will the container last in full sunlight or does it require shadecloth or similar to protect?

Rains may be good right now, it is tomorrow we must worry about in this arid land, many farm dams dried up including large dams it is a massive concern going forward.

Congratulations to you and your helpers, it looks to be a job well done!

Good morning :)
Some farmers chose to paint their damsak with a roof paint after a few years just to increase the longevity of the tank, but this tank was designed with Africa in mind, so it can withstand the full extremes of our sun, as long as the tank is not empty, should the tank be under a 1% capacity, it is advised to disconnect fold up and store the bladder until you are ready to fill it again.

Rain is always good,and water is becoming a huge commodity - we will have to start looking after tomorrow today...

Hope you and the family are doing well?

Not finding water underground in a borehole and dam when farming it becomes a constant problem keeping livestock and plants watered, these new tanks are proving to assist.

We have experienced extreme water shortages over the years here on the coast, rains come and people become complacent instead of thinking ahead. Good luck with this 40k litre storage is a fair amount, hopefully rains arrive soon and fill it to capacity!

We are well, thanks for asking, keep to as a normal life as possible, trust all is well there too...
