Every Drop Counts- How Pillow Tanks Can End India's Water Shortage
                     Every Drop Counts: How Pillow Tanks Can End 
India's Water Shortage!
Introduction: A Nation Yearning for Change
India is beset by a paradox. We are blessed with torrential monsoons 
and yet suffer from acute water shortages. Millions of litres of 
rainwater are wasted annually as cities, villages, and fields are ravaged 
by droughts.
According to NITI Aayog's Composite Water Management Index, 21 
Indian cities are expected to become groundwater depleted by 2030. 
Over 600 million Indians already face high to extreme water stress. 
Demand for sustainable, mobile, and affordable water storage has 
never been higher.
At Agastya Invention, we find that the key to part of the solution is a 
remarkably versatile innovation: The Pillow Tank.
What is a Pillow Tank?
Pillow Tanks (flexi-tanks or bladder tanks) are collapsible, foldable 
liquid storage tanks made of high-performance technical materials 
like PVC-coated material. They are easy to install, transport, and 
maintain and are thus best suited for India's diverse geographies and 
applications.
Drawn from India's own innovation tradition—mentioned in ancient 
texts such as the Agastya Samhita—we've created these tanks to 
combine high-tech engineering with eternal wisdom.
Why Pillow Tanks are a Game-Changer for India
o 1. Water Harvesting Simplified
Monsoons are utilized to harvest rainwater in pillow tanks, which is 
then used during the dry season.
No need for extensive civil construction or permissions—just spread, 
connect, and store.
Perfect for urban rooftop water harvesting, village tanks in rural areas, 
and far-flung hilly or tribal areas.
o 2. Agriculture Promotion
Agriculture consumes about 80% of India's water.
Pillow Tanks allow marginal and small-scale farmers to safely store 
irrigation water.
Equipped with drip irrigation installations along with natural liquid 
fertilizers.
Helps  reduce  the  dependence  on  unreliant  borewells  or  tanker 
supplies.
o  3. Disaster Relief & Water Security
Water facilities are damaged during floods, cyclones, or earthquakes.
Our tanks find application in disaster relief, fire fighting, and military 
applications for rapid deployment and secure water supply.
The Water Crisis: Some Sobering Numbers
75% of Indian households do not have access to piped drinking water 
(Ministry of Jal Shakti).
54% of India experiences high to extremely high water stress (World 
Resources Institute).
40% of India's population will be without drinking water in their grasp 
by 2030 if things continue as they are.
Areas of Influence: Pillow Tanks & the UNSDGs
Our  innovation  speaks  to  significant  United  Nations  Sustainable 
Development Goals (UNSDGs):
SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation
Pillow Tanks allow decentralized access to water.
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Promotes
infrastructure-free solutions and grassroots innovation. 
SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
Enables water resilience in peri-urban and urban slums. 
SDG 13 – Climate Action
Reduces water stress driven by climate uncertainty.
Why Agastya Pillow Tanks?
We've built our tanks for maximum dependability and a minimum of 
hassle:
Capacity: Varies from 1,000 to 1,00,000+ litters.
Material: ISO 9001:2015 certified PVC-coated material with IS 
standards.
Longevity: 8-year life.
Seam Technology: Double Seam Protection through High-Frequency 
Welding.
Safety: Odor-free, leak-resistant, for drinking water & food-grade use.
Mobility: Vacant tanks only weigh a small percentage of their full load 
and can be packaged for transportation.
What We See:
We're not just selling a product—we're building a sustainable 
movement. Imagine a world where:
Every rural school stores safe drinking water year-round.
Every apartment complex harvests and stores rainwater in their 
parking lot.
Every farm also has a reserve water tank for severe summers. 
Every disaster-hit village has an immediate source of clean water.
That's the future Agastya Pillow Tanks are bringing—one drop, one 
tank, one community at a time.
Let's Work Together We invite CSR heads, city mayors, sustainability 
experts, innovators, and NGOs to join hands with us. Let's make water 
security a reality—not a dream.
