The AfricaWaterBank rainwater harvester has no mechanical parts - and has developed technology that people already know and understand. It has a collecting surface (artificial roof) which is close to the ground so it can be easily cleaned - it has a large trough instead of guttering - it has a high capacity split compartment tank that can still provide clean water while the other compartment is being cleaned - and it has an ingenious sand and charcoal filtration system. It is low cost - can be fully maintained locally - is unlikely to break down - and can be easily managed by women. Maji ni uhai.
