Overview
Central Adıyaman Shelter Camp was established to accommodate those who had been displaced from their homes due to damage or destruction. The camp offers essential services, including food, clean water, and sanitation facilities. To address the urgent need for clean water, our 14R Rapid Water Tank Bundle was air-transported from the UK to the Central Adıyaman Shelter Camp within a week and installed nearby to provide essential water services. Remarkably, the tank was fully completed in just one day, thanks to the efforts of two well-trained volunteers.
Application
The 14R Bundle played a vital role during the challenging post-disaster period by supplying both potable and non-potable water. With the provision of potable water, Deploy's 14R Bundle was able to connect to various types of water filters. In this specific instance, Lifestraw generously donated the Lifestraw Max to Deploy, enabling the provision of safe drinking water to the residents. The combined efforts of these technologies ensured access to clean drinking water, significantly reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and promoting the well-being of the Central Adıyaman Shelter Camp community.
Installation Challenges
1. Transporting water tanks to earthquake-hit cities was daunting due to closed entryways and rubble-filled streets. Using plastic tank alternatives was not feasible because they needed transportation by lorries, which wasn't possible. Instead, Deploy easily transported our tanks to the site using a panel van, and a forklift was used to load the tank onto the van.
