Claimed Benefits
It is claimed that approximately five times the amount of water can be transported in less time with far less effort than the traditional method of carrying 20 liters (approximately 5 gallons) on the head.
Claimed benefits include:
- time savings (fetching water can be very time consuming in some poor rural environments);
- reduced effort;
- reduced strain (carrying heavy weights on the head every day for years puts strain on the body, particularly the vertebral column);
- increased water availability, with benefits for health and perhaps even enabling vegetables to be grown;
- hygienic storage due to the sealed lid on the roller.
