2-5. CHOOSING THE SITE.
When choosing the site to set up and run the ROWPU, remember the following:
a. If a stream is to be used as the raw water source, pick a site for the ROWPU upstream from camp.
NOTE
Illustration denotes Army ROWPU.
Mc
and AF units are skid mounted.
WARNING
Ensure that the site provides downstream
water source.
CAUTION
Consider variable weather conditions
when choosing site; avoid areas
vulnerable to flash flooding and high tide.

b. The raw water hoses can reach about 75 feet. Ensure the ROWPU is placed close enough for the hoses to reach
the water source, and check that the ground is solid and fairly level.
c. Take advantage of available forest cover.
d. Take advantage of finished roads. They can furnish a solid, level surface.
