In-Line Water reservoir for human or livestock or vegetation survival during natural or other disaster

Abstract

A continuously refreshing in-line water reservoir system for use in the event of a loss of water source due to a natural disaster or otherwise is disclosed. The in-line water reservoir system may comprise a reservoir for holding water, a water inlet line through which water flows into the reservoir, e.g. water flows into the reservoir from a community water supply, and a water outlet line though which water flows out from the reservoir and to a point of use during normal operation. Moreover, the system is configured in-line between a water supply and a point of water extraction. For example, any time water is extracted from a point of use water pressure from the community water supply forces at least some new water into the reservoir thereby at least partially replenishing the reserve of potable water for emergency use.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A fluid reservoir system comprising:
 a reservoir for holding a predetermined amount of water;   a water inlet line through which water flows into the reservoir; and   a water outlet line though which water flows out from the reservoir,
 wherein the fluid reservoir system is configured in-line between a water supply and a point of water extraction. 
   
     
     
         3 . The fluid reservoir system of  claim 1 , further comprising a base stand configured for supporting the reservoir. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid reservoir system of  claim 1 , wherein the reservoir further comprises a spigot for selectively extracting water from at least one of the reservoir, the water inlet, and the water outlet. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid reservoir system of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for securing the reservoir to a surrounding environmental structure. 
     
     
         6 . The fluid reservoir system of  claim 1 , wherein the water inlet line in configured for injecting water roughly six inches from the bottom of the reservoir. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid reservoir system of  claim 1 , wherein the reservoir is generally cylindrical.
