The World Bank Group wrote an article that sheds light on how water storage is becoming a central piece in the puzzle of climate change adaptation, as the demand for freshwater continues to rise and natural sources become increasingly unreliable. It calls for a balanced approach that combines both natural and built water storage solutions—think dams, reservoirs, and wetlands—to tackle the growing risks of water scarcity and extreme weather events. The message is clear: investing in resilient water infrastructure is critical for securing global water supplies.

​

Here’s the takeaway:

• Water storage is key: As freshwater demand grows and natural sources dwindle, water storage is essential to climate adaptation.

• Water crisis ahead: Countries are facing increasing threats from water shortages and extreme weather.

• Integrated storage: A mix of natural (wetlands) and built solutions (dams, tanks) is crucial to managing water sustainably and holistically.

 

For us at Deploy, this highlights the vital role our flat-packed, easily deployable water tanks play in addressing these global water challenges. Our tanks are especially effective in tough-to-reach areas with rugged terrain and in regions at high risk of natural disasters. By providing flexible, sustainable storage solutions, we’re helping to build climate-resilient infrastructure, ensuring that even the most vulnerable locations have access to vital water resources when extreme conditions hit.
