• 

Functional Purpose

• Store 5,000 L of water in a tank elevated ~10 m for gravity-fed irrigation
• Provide a higher-head water supply for greater pressure
• Integrate optionally with AOWIS Field Controllers for water level monitoring

Structural Concept

• 10 m high simple reinforced concrete frame tower
• Supports a standard 5,000 L nylon tank (locally available)
• Open-top tank for inspection and filling
• Integrated Ladder for maintenance
• Tank is secured to the tower by being fully enclosed by a brick or concrete wall
• Designed to be assembled with available tools and local labor

Hydraulic Layout

• Tank outlet supplies water to outlets, homes, irrigation zones by gravity
• Isolation valve allows manual control
• Optional integration with a small pump for secondary supply zones

Safety Considerations

• Ladder and hatch should be used carefully
• Ladder should be protected from being accessed by children
• Ensure the foundation is anchored down to the bedrock
• Ensure good quality concrete and enough reinforcing steel of acceptable quality
• Basic manual valve operations keeps it operational during brownouts

Manual Operation Pathways

• Tank filling and emptying can be done manually if electronics fail
• Simple paper-based logs or measurements supported

Controller Integration Points

• Optional water level sensor for Field Controller logging
  • AOWIS control can read tank level for irrigation scheduling
• Manual bypass always available - water supply continues even if electronics are offline
