designer's own words:

As for the serious problem faced by human being, I suggest a solution to the challenge through umbrella type. In order to solve water-shortage problem in Africa, it is required to save rain as much as possible. The upside down umbrella serves as an earthenware pot with wide entrance. The umbrella can provide a resting place to prevent hot sun during sunny days. The end of handle and rings of the two umbrella ribs can be fixed to the ground by driving a pile into the ground.
