Water is essential not only for domestic purposes like cooking, washing and drinking but also for a host of commercial purposes. Even though water supply systems have drastically improved over the years, disruptions in water supply necessitate the need to store water. Water storage is also essential to meet emergency needs. Moreover, people living in areas with water scarcity due to low rainfall need to store water. Water storage is also essential for the purpose of irrigation.
