When students wake up, they find a lack of water for brushing and
taking baths. At times in the afternoon there is also a lack of drinking
water. Students cannot find drinking water at times and some

plan to wash clothes on particular days also cannot do so at times.

Daily activities that are impeded by the lack of water like drinking,
cooking, brushing and bathing are of topmost priority. Other
activities like maintaining overall cleanliness take the next highest

The tower consists of a bamboo frame

supporting a mesh polyester material inside.
Rain, fog and dew condenses against the mesh
and trickles down a funnel into a reservoir at the
base of the structure. A fabric canopy shades
the lower sections of the tower to prevent the
collected water from evaporating.
