The way we, the 4's, decided to fulfill some of the needs is through a shower bus. It has 6 stalls and a storage room that houses the generator, the 2 tankless water heaters and shelving for storing the towels and toiletries the bus will distribute. Lauren Shepulski and I had a great time designing this bus. We learned alot about the science of bathing, like without water saving shower heads one could use 7-10 gallons per minute during a shower but with the water saing devices usage is cut down to 2-4 gallons per minute. That is a huge difference even in a 5 minute shower. We researched how we could transport and/or store water. P.S. Water is heavy! So we fixed that problem by bringing a tanker along with our bus because there would be no way for our bus to haul adequate amounts of water to keep it in working order.
