Chapter 3: Bamboo Flattening to Create Water Storage Tanks 

Bamboo flattening represents a new type of construction method for building water storage tanks. Here the technique is presented to the viewer. For the original project in Ethiopia, flattening was down manually. However, in order to scale up production in the future, INBAR and partners will explore mechanizing this process.
