Water reservoir graduation scale
Measuring water to protect community health
Inside the reservoir, a water graduation scale was installed to measure the volume in every 10,000 litres stored. This precise but straightforward tool allows safe monitoring of consumption, prevents overuse, and supports long-term access to clean water. In remote villages, measuring water accurately is a direct act of health prevention.
The graduation scale was cut, aligned, and fixed manually inside the reservoir wall. Working in low light, teams from Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia ensured each mark remained readable from the reservoir floor. Accuracy is essential, as even minor errors can affect water planning during the dry season.
This water reservoir graduation scale is not decorative. It allows the community to anticipate shortages, regulate daily use, and avoid contamination caused by frequent opening or unsafe access. Combined with internal sealing and light control, it supports stable water quality over time.
By integrating measurement into infrastructure, the reservoir becomes a medical tool. Clean water is protected not only by filtration and sealing, but by knowing exactly how much remains available. This approach reflects sixteen years of Swiss medical and technical field experience.
