During 2005-2006 TCA has provided each village with a 1000 gallon Tuffa Tank. These tanks were funded by the community development scheme. Water tanks were seen as a necessity by TCA staff to better improve the rabbit farming project and assist local communities with a clean water supply that was close to the village.

Water is normally collected from local water sources that are not necessarily clean and disease free. Many people suffer from diarrhoea and other water borne diseases in the area so clean water supplies are essential in any village.

Water is normally collected by women and carried to the village in bamboo water carriers or saucepans and buckets. In some villages, women have to walk for more than 30 minutes to collect water with some having to walk up hill and in rugged terrain. By reducing the workload of women, this has helped give them time to rest and assist the rabbit project.

TCA had a local plumber provide water tank training to two female representatives from each village. This enabled women to realise how to maintain the water tank and prevent damage occurring.
