The CEO of Bloem Water, Dr. Bennie Malakoane, discovered the Hippo water roller in March 2012 at the World Water Forum in France. He was delighted to find this South African invention at an international exhibition.
The majority of houses in Bloem Water's jurisdiction have rain water tanks, however it simply means nothing when there is no rain to fill those tanks.
Bloem Water identified the Hippo water roller as an appropriate technology that immediately improves access to water.
