Water Storage and Distribution System (WSDS) for Temporary and/or Remote Locations Introduction Construction and infrastructure projects; mines, gas and oil sites; research camps in remote locations; agriculture projects; military remote camps; parks and recreation sites; and many others all of them are located in far and remote locations, many times away from utilities infrastructure. They remain for the duration of the project or mission, and then dis-assembled and move to another place. One of the necessities of such locations is the supply of fresh water for drinking, cocking and personal hygiene. Due to the lack of local water infrastructure, portable water storage and transportation solutions needed to be used in order to assure the constant supply of water. EZPack Solution EZPack Water Ltd., developed the WSDS (Water Storage and Distribution System), to provide water supply solutions for temporary and remote locations. The WSDS is a comprehensive water solution for water supply in remote locations. Its Lego concept enables to build solution for any site requirements. The system is easy to operate and compact to store, and can be assembled very quickly; no maintenance is required. The EZPack system includes all the accessories required for operation. EZPack provide solution for all levels of remote location drinking water requirements: Water transportation to the location Up to 56,000 liter Central site water storage Hundreds of M 3 Local water storage Up to 5,000 liter on stages Personal water storage 4-12 liter The WSDS The core parts of the WSDS are the EZPack proprietary bladder tanks. The bladder is built from 2 layers: Outside layer made of durable thermoplastic outer frame, which can be positioned on any terrain.

The EZPack bladders are available at sizes from 100 liters (~25 gallons) up to 20,000 liters (~5,000 gallons). The various sizes availability allows the WSDS to be built according to site requirements (number of people to be served; frequent of water supply; etc.). Outer Layer Food-graded Insert 2
The WSDS contains all parts and accessories to cover all the different uses: 1. Stages for the bladders - enables water flow by gravity. Stages available for bladders up to 5000 liter. 2. Taps as standalone or attached to the stages. Models available with 4, 6, 8, 10 taps. 3. Various pumps for water delivery 4. Various pipes, connectors, pressure relief valves, etc. Water Delivery and Transportation Solutions Water transportation heavily relies on a fleet of tankers and water trailers. Owning such a fleet is both expensive with significant maintenance cost attached to it. There is no alternative use for water tanker, and therefore tankers fleet is designed based on the level of average water consumption and budget constraints. 3
There is no way to respond to peak demand or sudden emergency needs and convert standard trucks to tankers without considerable investment in money and time. EZPack offers a relatively simple solution that transforms regular flatbed truck to water tanker the F3DPack. The company developed a module that allows easy conversion of flatbed truck (or trailer) into a tanker. Within less than two hours a team of two persons can transfer a truck or trailer into a water tanker. No heavy tools are required.
