Hippo Water Roller

Hippo Water Roller

The Hippo Water Roller is a barrel-shaped container designed to transport 90 liters (24 gallons) of water at one time. It alleviates the suffering caused by a lack of access to water by allowing water to be placed ‘inside the wheel,’ resulting in an effective weight of just 10 kg (22 pounds) on level ground. It was specifically designed for use in tough rural conditions, with a long lifespan of 5 – 7 years, often much longer. The Hippo Water Roller transforms water collection from a daily chore to a task performed only a few times a week.
