|text1= - '''Effects of drought''': Water storage used up. <br> - '''Underlying causes of effects''': Lack of rainfall; High evaporation rates; Leaking linings due to bad construction; Storage not sufficient for demand – tanks are too expensive for volumes of water to outlast extended dry periods. <br> - '''To increase resiliency of WASH system''': Build smaller tank structures but more of them over longer time, which means less reinforcement per tank, more manageable to construct and cover, and more affordable; Reduce evaporation & seepage due to poor construction & siting; Follow proper concreting guidelines; Make tanks from cheaper materials and repair more often; Improve access to micro-finance; Support the capacity of the government or private sector to be able to provide (for payment) a tankering scheme.}}

* Site in a place where run-off is seen to flow after rains.
