该方案提供给使用者必要的工具和信息，以便进行暂时而又有效的迁徙。在洪灾的每个阶段都可以自给自足。设计提供了四种基本需要：避难帐篷、饮用水、产品运输和信息。

该方案包含了本地的和外地的产品分配系统，供水系统（收集雨水进行过滤）和一个运输系统（运输帐篷、个人物资和水）。

该方案一共有3个阶段：迁徙、过渡和重建。第一阶段提供紧急迁徙到安全地带的需要，到达以后利用当地的原料（草料和木材）进行扩建。另外还提供健康的生活制度和可靠的临时社会体制模板。最终提供建筑模板用于返回后进行住房重建或另择地址进行重建。这项方案已由UNHCR联合国难民事务高级办事处在莫桑比克和赞比亚实施。

The Water Shelter project responds to the needs of rural populations in developing countries who live in areas of recurring floods, with a geographical focus on the Zambezi basin in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The design provides the user with the necessary tools and information to migrate temporarily and efficiently. Encouraging self sufficiency at each stage of the disaster. The bespoke design addresses four vital needs: shelter, drinking water, product transport and information, whilst reflecting social traditions.

The design incorporates local and remote product distribution systems, a water collection system (which harvests and filters rainwater from the shelter canopy) and the Water Roller (which is used to transport the shelter, possessions and water) Whilst also adding creating value for the user on a day to day basis.

The design provides shelter in a 3 stage strategy: Transit, Transition, and Rebuild. The Shelter in Phase one provides emergency shelter on route to safer locations, on arrival the transition shelter utilises local materials (grass and sticks) to increase in size. The Water Shelter package also promotes healthy behaviour and a template for planning sustainable temporary communities. Finally the design offers a structural template for permanent housing upon return or relocation. This project was carried out with on-site contacts from the UNHCR and NGOs in Mozambique and Zambia.
