			<title>Take Back the Tap</title>
			<link>http://www.thewaterchannel.tv/en/thewaterplaza/the-water-blog/116-lighten#comment-504</link>
			<description><![CDATA[We use water canteens or jerry cans for our Take Back the Tap program at Water Wise Salem Beverly (Water Canteen Borrow Program). OUr 7-gallon canteens are available to borrow for public events so that bottled water is not needed. It's a great program! But, the canteens are heavy. We use a wheeled cart, which is helpful for ground transport, but lifting the jerry cans out of the large 3-foot tall sink we use to maintain our Board of Health Certificate, and then in and out of vehicles, did a number on my back a couple months ago when I had to pick up four jerry cans for a big local event. I will post this opportunity on Facebook and would love to hear about any solutions!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[fetching water by using Jerry can for the rural communities of Ethiopia much better than fetching with pots(that are being made up of clay soil) which may cause back pain as it not flexible and hard too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The jerry can is actually a great device, but it needs a better means of transportion. An obvious innovation would be something with a sturdy wheel, such as a wheelbarrow. In that way, all the weight is balanced on the wheel, and only the effort of pushing is required. Something like this for example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2839850/ingenious-water-carrier_version2.png This is an adapted version of this one, already in use, but which has the disadvantage that you still have to carry half the weight: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_awZGIYxgLUQ/TUA6a82sYZI/AAAAAAAAAdk/-k7AXEH2SpA/s1600/ingenious%2Bwater%2Bcarrier.jpg Something like that could be mass produced at low cost.

			<title>Design issues</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Good idea, Frank, to bend the minds of designers towards this. Have you contacted D-Rev in Stanford? I think they would welcome this opportunity to add water supply (transport) to their portfolio. In 300in6, we are featuring design as a central issue in water quality too, as announced in our prelude video Delivering Desire. We shall have one or two specialised videos on design -- as Paul Polak puts it Design for the Other 90%. Re your title ("For a lighter burden") -- and this is 90% off topic -- you and friends on TWC might be interested to see a World Bank film I worked on some time back: "Lighter Burden, Brighter Future" at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocT2D1byHkM]]></description>
