1 - 9 of 9

80 - User change technical designs of sources to be cyclone proofed

81 - Ensure that tank catchment roofs are securely fastened before a storm

82 - Small dams & spring boxes may be used so the source itself is not buried

83 - Adjust the design of the intake box

84 - Promote underground tanks that are not susceptible to winds

85 - Use strong ferro cement tanks that will not move in wind

86 - Do not use light plastic polytanks in cyclone exposed areas

87 - Keep water source areas cleared, cut old branches and remove possible debris to protect infrastructure

88 - Build sea walls/other barriers around exposed coastal spring sources
