Waterbok II is designed as a lightweight water carrier and firefighter. This device will be used for firebreaks and firefighting in tight spaces common in townships.

The device derives most of its functionality from a singular rotationally moulded body that fits onto a frame that is secured by a single strap.

The draining holes are placed along the sides to allow for quick draining while also staying protected from damage when the device is detached.

The main body can absorb and deflect all forces experienced during use, negating the need for suspension.

This allowed the frame to be as simple as possible and easy to manufacture locally.
