Long-term droughts are induced by a changing climate, limiting the naturally available groundwater and surface water sources normally used to combat fires. A key to alleviating water scarcity, stress and water deficit is securing adequate water storage systems. Water tanks are the traditional means of enclosed water storage and are evolving to satisfy the challenges of an increasingly unstable climate.

Water storage systems, large or small, must minimize the potential for the formation of algae, need to be resistant to weather and temperature variations while handling snow and rain and have to be structurally stable and resistant. The storage systems should be self-standing without the need for support structures such as exterior columns and reinforcements. The storage systems must also screen out pollutants like trash and disease vectors, have an attractive architectural appearance and be lined with coatings that reduce maintenance expenses and paint.

Market Dynamics

The global water storage systems market is boosted by the rising need to provide adequate water resources to the general public.

Rising need to provide adequate water resources to the general public

According to UN-Water, water scarcity will have displaced between 24 and 700 million people by 2030. Asia is home to 4.5 billion people, who consume around 65% of the world's water. About 30% of Asia's population is already experiencing water constraints. Furthermore, increased water conservation concerns due to a lack of drinking water are expected to positively impact the demand for water storage systems. Securing adequate water storage systems is fundamental for relieving water shortage, stress, and water deficit.

Various countries have already made essential investments to offer adequate water resources to the public. For instance, In 2021, The Yurok Tribe reached signed an agreement with the Klamath Community Services District to establish a 125,000-gallon water tank on tribal property in Klamath. The Yurok Tribe has also agreed to spend for the design and implementation of the tank installation through Indian Health Service grant dollars. Moreover, In 2021, Water Transportation and Technology Company in Saudi Arabia signed a service agreement with the Saline Water Conversion Corporation. The company will be responsible for over 8,400km of existing transmission and water storage systems, handling 7 million cubic meters a day (cm/d) of desalinated water.

Growing number of strict standards for the maintenance of tanks

To protect public health, international and ensure drinking water safety through elimination or, as far as national guidelines and standards have been established for maintaining drinking water quality. The regulations are intended to remove contaminants that pose a health risk potential. Consequently, those regulations provide the fundamentals to evaluate the impact of drinking water storage systems on drinking water quality.

The American Water Works Association recommended that all water storage structures be thoroughly evaluated every three to five years. Storage tanks that are elevated or above ground should be drained, cleaned, inspected, repaired and painted regularly. Cleaning the inside surfaces with a high-pressure water jet or sweeping and scrubbing should be done thoroughly. All filth and debris should be removed from the tank and it should be re-coated completely or on a spot basis. It applies to new construction and tanks that have been taken out of operation for maintenance. Moreover, National Sanitation Foundation has formed various potable water storage and handling systems standards.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The emergence of COVID-19 is expected to hold down investments in the water sector worldwide. Due to the high downtime cost, operational reliability has become even more important. Changes in demand patterns, supply disruptions and the different emergency measures governments take to deal with the pandemic have all contributed to these operating requirements. As municipalities prioritize Opex and emergency response, new capital projects will likely be delayed. According to Global Water Intelligence, capital expenditures in the water sector are expected to drop over the 2020-21 timeframe before returning to pre-crisis predicted levels, according to Global Water Intelligence. The worldwide water industry Capex for 2020 is projected to be downward by 7%.

Many significant water users have scaled back their operations, resulting in lower industrial demand. Due to lockdowns and travel restrictions, water utilities have seen a major drop in demand from large industrial and commercial users, resulting in a considerable reduction in revenue. According to a Global Water Leaders Group survey, COVID-19 has reduced industrial water usage by an average of 27%. According to the Global Water Leaders Group, water and wastewater utilities worldwide have predicted a 15% drop in revenue collections due to the COVID-19 situation. In the medium run, well-regulated markets are likely to compensate for revenue losses through postponed payment installments, government transfers and tariff modifications.
