摘要

A flexible container for the storage and collection of water is disclosed. The container is configured to have a relatively wider lower portion and a relatively narrower upper portion. The container comprises of an inner liner, an outer structure, an inlet and an outlet. The inner liner is made from a material which is impermeable to liquids, whereas the outer structure is made of a material that can provide support for the liner. The inlet is associated with the liner in the upper portion of the container and advantageously includes a filter element having a mesh size that is sufficiently small to prevent mosquitoes or other undesirable contaminants from entering the container. The outlet sealingly engages the container on the lower portion thereof and comprises an inner and outer connector and a washer. The inner connector of the outlet is configured with ribs which are radially disposed on the flange.
