Expanding Emergency Canteens

The Water Spider Supplies Clean Water to Trapped Earthquake Victims

— December 13, 2013 — Art & Design
The process of actually releasing earthquake victims from beneath broken sections of buildings takes a great deal of time and care. The Water Spider would surround the extraction process with less stress and urgency by taking care of one of the survivors' most immediate needs.

This is a water bottle with a capacity of 20 Liters. It can be carried to the site of natural disaster in which several people remain trapped. Eight tubes escape from the canteen, and they can be connected to tiny cameras if the resources are available. Each one is intended to reach a different person so that he can be given clean H2O for a better chance of remaining alive. The Water Spider can be collapsed for easy storage when it's not needed.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Emergency Canteens - The trend of creating collapsible water bottles with large capacities for disaster relief purposes, like the Water Spider, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the emergency response industry.
2. Connected Emergency Equipment - The trend of integrating tiny cameras into emergency canteens, as seen in the Water Spider, opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of disaster recovery technology.
3. Survival-focused Water Delivery Systems - The trend of designing water canteens with multiple tubes for individual use, like the Water Spider, provides disruptive innovation opportunities in the survival gear industry to enhance the chances of trapped individuals remaining alive during natural disasters.
Industry Implications
1. Emergency Response - The emergency response industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by leveraging compact and collapsible emergency canteens, such as the Water Spider, to improve the efficiency of disaster relief efforts.
2. Disaster Recovery Technology - The integration of tiny cameras into emergency canteens, exemplified by the Water Spider, presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the disaster recovery technology industry to enhance rescue operations and improve situational awareness in disaster-stricken areas.
3. Survival Gear - The survival gear industry can leverage the trend of water canteens with multiple tubes for individual use, like the Water Spider, to develop innovative products that increase the chances of survival for individuals trapped in natural disaster situations.
