===Construction, operations and maintenance===

The [[EMAS pump]] and [[Small household Classical ferrocement watertanks tank |ferrocement tank ]] need to be operated correctly.

Rural people are easily taught to build their own, using two (glass) marbles, simple PVC pipes, thread adapters and (galvanized) iron pipe, available in any hardware store. The pump uses a gasket that is made from the nylon-reinforced sidewall of used tires, which is widely available and already used in most rural areas for other purposes. Having built their own pump, people are able to maintain it forever. Only basic hand tools required.
