Many parts of the world are experiencing water scarcity. One reason for this is Global warming. Extreme heat leads to evaporation of water in reservoirs and drinking water gets affected because of rise in sea level, leading to intrusion of salt water into ground water. The increased heat bringing water shortage is creating a lot of health problems because of water contamination.

The only solution to this is to save water. Water can be stored in water tanks and can be used later, as and when necessary. A water tank is a storage container, where water is stored and used for human consumption, irrigation, agricultural farming, chemical manufacturing and various other purposes. Water tanks can be located outdoors, indoors, underground or above the ground and these tanks are made from various materials like polyethylene, fiberglass, concrete etc.

Another solution to solve space problem is to install slimline water tanks which are available in many different shapes, like oval, rectangular and other configurations, according to the needs of the customers, and can be kept even in narrow passages or narrow corners of your house.
