Abstract<br />
In this report we will discuss the collaboration between the<br />
WaterBike team of Moonwalk Tomorrow and master students at<br />
NTNU for developing the best strategic plan for the WaterBike<br />
project. The NTNU team consist of Rune Sagvolden, Trine<br />
Rydningen Kirkhaug, Gergana Tatarova and Andrea Mayordomo<br />
Amoró, all fourth years students at NTNU. The <strong>Waterbike</strong><br />
team will get an further introduction later on, but shortly told,<br />
<strong>Waterbike</strong> aim to make a safe and reliable transport of water<br />
to people living in rural areas without instant access to a water<br />
source.<br />
BACKGROUND<br />

water. According to Water.org 1 as many as 1 of 10 lack access<br />
to safe to drink water. Even if there is a clean source, it is not<br />
close to everyone. The consequences of this is that people use<br />
unnecessary long time walking to a water source and bringing<br />
the water back home. Illnesses from polluted water sources is<br />
also a huge problem the same goes for problems related to<br />
shortcome of water. The WaterBike team has used this as their<br />
starting point to develop a service around water bringing to the<br />
vulnerable areas.<br />
OBJECTIVE<br />
The goal has been divided between analysing the service to<br />
suggest what we find to be best practise to make it work, and<br />
also to help develop product concepts for the bike and water<br />
containers. There has also been an issue finding out which areas<br />
are best to launch the project.<br />
METHODS<br />
Since it is a service design project, we have decided to choose<br />
