IARA
IARA - System for collecting, purifying and transporting water.

Solution

Nearly 2 billion people live in 
water-stressed areas of the world 
and 3 billion have no running water within a kilometre of their homes.

This project was developed to help people who have to struggle every day to get some clean water.
Simple, hygienic, lightweight and rugged, aluminum has physical and chemical properties that allow to cool and warm quickly being the ideal 
material for use in this project.

IARA should be produced in a large scale and be disteibuted for free all ocer the word by charity organisations.

Excellent idea and thought, I like the fact that you even thought of transporting difficulties faced by poor people, also that it can exploit different types of water sources..

This has nothing at all to do with buildings. This contest does not ask how you can make drinking water to carry around with you, they are asking how to integrate buildings into a new watersavings treatment..........

I tend to agree that this has little to do with building or architecture. The concept could have an impact in developing countries where water distribution is a major concern.

Interestingly, but why not to transport water in one large bottle? 8* :)

I agree RK. I know a little bit about manufacturing PVC goods and I am sure making an easy to carry container is fer cheaper than making such a device with precise threaded nozzles and extra strength to hold so many bottles.

Actually, using the same plastic and making a wheel that can be easily rolled along the ground makes the most sense ecologically and ergonomically. But, this has already been done. See: http://www.filtersfast.com/blog/index.php/tag/water-transport-in-developing-countries/

It is not appropriate for the target group!

even ignoring target group, the design is extremely naive and the shape as illustrated lacks structural integrity for carrying. too many unnecessarily torqued moment arms which will bend and break.

taigan, hands off, the idea is good and is very applicable to the developing country.

the hands you should be concerned about is the unfortunate people having to use the product. the designer made the handle too small a surface area to bear the weight of 4 or more bottles of water. that is a very poor distribution of load. and these poor people will get blisters before they reach home.
