Water is important for human beings; it is used for personal hygiene, drinking, food cooking, toilet-flushing and other domestic activities. In Mwogo sector-Kagasa cell there is a problem of lack of water which causes inhabitants to suffer from all problem caused by insufficient water for daily use.

This project was selected to contribute in solving the serious problem concerning insufficient water in Eastern Province. The equalization water tank was designed to increase the available quantity of water to satisfy the population of Mwogo Sector for at least four days.

During this research I used internet, books and other source of information to base my design standard requirements.

The calculation begins by considering the volume required, which is 2084.3 m3 with height of 6.2m, freeboard height= 0.2m,The section area of tank is 347.38m2 for the design of the whole tank to be accurate determined
