Source pathways to review
Start with the water that is actually available.
Bore / groundwaterSurface water subject to treatmentRainwater / mixed catchmentMunicipal or delivered supply
System architecture
Build the operating system around storage.
Treatment selected from laboratory water data
Clean-water storage sized around demand and operating autonomy
Booster or gravity distribution selected from topography
Distribution points, branch isolation and future growth included in layout
Project inputs
What we need before the configuration is locked.
Current and future population
Demand by household and community facilities
Source flow, water quality and seasonal risk
Topography and network length
Power / solar / generator availability
Local operations and spare-parts strategy
Operations + maintenance
Design for the people who will run it.
Monitor tank level and pump status
Provide isolation for distribution maintenance
Keep treatment cleaning and consumables practical for local operators
Plan periodic tank inspection and sanitation
Project resources
Carry this configuration into a controlled project package.
Demand & Storage Planner
Check daily demand, autonomy and planning storage before tank selection.
Open plannerSource-Water Review
Structure source quality, yield and treatment questions before process selection.
Open reviewResponsibility Matrix
Clarify equipment, civil works, services, pipework, installation and approvals.
Open matrixLogistics & Site Receiving
Plan container access, unloading, storage, site readiness and local handling.

The planning population is not a fixed system capacity. Schools, clinics, markets, WASH blocks and other shared facilities can materially change community demand.
Final storage volume, material, potable-water evidence, treatment process, pump duty, structural design, foundations, controls, installation, commissioning and destination requirements are confirmed for the exact project configuration.
