Water stress is the new normal: Take control of your water security with OASIS agricultural water tanks

South Africa is a water scarce country… the 30th driest in the world. Half of our country’s river flow is provided by only 10% of its land. Alarmingly, most of the mountain catchment regions that feed our major rivers do not have ‘protected’ status. And yet these catchments are critical for food production and the sustenance of all life downstream.

We’re all too familiar with dams, reservoirs and rivers running dry:

  • Groundwater levels fluctuate, or even ‘disappear’
  • Abundant water supply is no longer guaranteed, or is unreliable
  • In many areas rainfall has decreased… less rain directly affects dams and has a dire effect on the recharging of groundwater levels
  • Rising temperatures are causing increased evaporation
  • Drought and climate change hold serious implications for long-term water security – a huge threat to food security
  • Uneven rainfall patterns – little precipitation leads to drought while torrential downfall leads to floods

Little wonder then that water is the elixir of life, and the most precious commodity in South Africa.

The Agricultural sector is particularly exposed to water risks. That’s why our ever-resourceful farmers have adapted to the unpredictable availability of fresh water by installing bulk water storage tanks manufactured by Rainbow Reservoirs, a South African manufacturer of premium water storage tanks (since 2003) in use in 30 countries worldwide.

In the Agricultural sector we’ve responded decisively to the increased requirements by our farmers for life-sustaining agri-water. By coupling latest technology with innovative design and corrosion-resistant Aluzinc, we’ve come up with the ever-popular OASIS TANKS range of water storage tanks www.oasistanks.co.za  – a 21st century solution that takes corrugated ‘farm tanks’ to the next level in agricultural water tank standards and technology.

Tough, reliable and affordable, Oasis tanks are manufactured from AZ150 ALUZINC STEEL, NOT hot-dip galvanised steel – there’s a difference! Aluzinc steel coatings out-perform galvanised coatings by 3 to 7 times. That’s why Aluzinc is utilised where long life is an essential requirement.

Quick and easy to install:

Oasis Tanks offers over 100 tank models in various height and diameter configurations designed and built to perfectly fit the farmer’s expressed requirements.
