The 'Loop' Water Transportation System Transitions from Backpack to Roller

Designed to be used as a knapsack that can be carried on the back to the potable water source, the 'Loop' water transportation system, when filled, then transforms into a roller that requires pushing rather than carrying to help ease the burden.

Truly one of the more innovative solutions when it comes to providing a better way to transport a vital resource, the 'Loop' water transportation system is designed by Hochschule für Gestaltung Pforzheim in Germany.
