We're finalizing plans for a rainwater catchment tank building project. Please see below. If you are at all interested, please make sure to sign up on the friendly Water website soon.
Learn
to Build a
Ferro-Cement Tank--- Rainwater
Catchment System
July 19-23 9:30 A.M. –
4:30 P.M.
Yelm, Washington
Friendly
Water for the
World Technical
Advisor Wayne Medrud and Youth Representative Noah Medrud
learned to build
these catchment systems while working with Friendly Water in
Uganda. Soon they will be returning to India to build them at
our new training
center in Gandhigram, Tamil Nadu. So they need the practice,
and are ready to
teach!
These systems in most of the developing world will last 2-3 times longer than plastic tanks, and as long as steel ones, but cost only about half as much. And they can be made by local community members and with locally available materials. Together with BioSand Filters, they provide the “gold standard” in water quality and community engagement.

Come to the training, put in some
labor, learn some
new things, and share Friendly Water stories!
Cost: $100, whether you come for one day or all five (as all costs are in materials). And bring lunch.
