It is possible to create a system by which people can pump water into the faucet in their homes from a central pump. This is useful since often water sources such as small springs exist quite far away from homes. Rather than individuals having to carry water from the source to their homes, they simply go to the source to pump the water. Several houses can be connected to the same pump. The system uses an air chamber, pipes, and ferrocement tank to transport water automatically from the pump to storage tanks in the house.
