Rainwater Harvesting Tanks
FAQ: What tank would be best for rainwater harvesting at a camping site?
The customer needed a rainwater harvesting tank for camping site that was located on a mountain top. Collapsible tanks were offered as a solution for their low costs and easy transportation.
Question: I want to build a campsite on top of a 1000ft mountain that is hard to climb. The area has a rainfall of about 700 mm per year. I want a system to catch rain water on top of the mountain to provide campers with water for washing. As everything has to be physically carried up the mountain, I'm thinking of a portable water tank and a way to catch the water.
The rainy season is from November to March and I need to store water from April to November. I think I'll need to store a total of 10,000 liters. If you have a solution, where can I buy if I live in Namibia?

A rainwater collapsible tank, also known as a water bladder, pillow tank or flexible tank, is an extremely flexible unit that has been used for the storage of drinking water, rainwater, grey water and various other liquids.
Because they are designed specifically to be flexible, the collapsible tank arrives to your location flat and folded. When compared to other tank styles and fabrics, this can offer huge advantages in terms of transportation. Tanks will not require large machinery or equipment, but can be placed in vehicles or carried to your desired mountaintop location.
In addition to easy transportation up your mountain, these tanks will also provide economical shipping to your location. Since a majority of our tanks are manufactured in the United States, having a flexible tank that is folded up and placed in a bcan greatly reduce shipping costs.
Your rainwater harvesting tank for camping site can be built in almost any capacity from 1 to 210,000 gallons, including a unit that is 10,000 liters in size.
