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.

Famous quotes containing the words claimed and/or benefits:
“To be claimed as good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“It is with benefits as with injuries in this respect, that we do not so much weigh the accidental good or evil they do us, as that which they were designed to do us.—That is, we consider no part of them so much as their intention.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
