moduloussays...I've camping with one of these for the best part of a decade.....granted its only 50l rather than 90l.
They're cool, but I think they've been around since the 70s.
Gratefulmomsays...*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Gratefulmom.
LiquidDriftsays...I really love seeing simple devices that can drastically improve people's lives. This is great!
spawnflaggersays...not to nitpick, but I think this is a reimagined bucket rather than a wheelbarrow...
bremnetsays...We used to call them lawn rollers in the 50's, and we still use them today. Ours held around 300 lbs of water (20" dia x around 42" wide - around 230 l of water plus the steel weight. ) Home Depot has 'em in a variety of sizes today. Different function, identical design.
Revolutionary? If the only other choice is a bucket or a very absorbent rock, then yes. Otherwise, nuh uh.

newtboysays...So, they invented rolling a barrel, huh?
I have to agree with those above. It's not a wheelbarrow, it's a wheelbarrel.
Good idea (not new though), but keep in mind, the people this is useful for use discarded 5 gallon buckets because they're free. Giving 50000 of these away is nice, but they won't replace the free 5 gallon bucket for most people because they simply can't get them. It would take tens of millions or more to supply every person who's now carrying water on their head all day long. Putting all that money into clean local wells would probably be a better use of it in most cases. Most of the water they will ever transport is filthy, infectious water from the only source available, supplying clean water for them seems to be an important step that's missing here.

I see what you did there!
