    The Mobile reservoir system consists of two or three liquid filled tubes placed in coherency so that they constitute a circular reservoir. The tubes are interconnected with an angular junction. The circular reservoir can be extended by connecting additional tubes and junctions. The mobile circular reservoir can be deployed very quickly. A circular mobile reservoir of 1000 m3 capacity can be deployed in between 5 and 15 minutes, such as between 10 and 60 minutes, and a circular mobile reservoir of 10.000 m3 capacity can be deployed in between 20 and 40 minutes, such as between 30 and 90 minutes. Compared to traditional solutions for mobile and temporary storage, the circular mobile reservoir is unique in terms of: - Using flexible liquid filled tubes - Enabling liquid storage inside the tubes as well as in the open reservoir - Using special junctions (couplings) to connect additional tubes, thus allowing for the entrainment of very large liquid volumes, such as between 50 and 500 cubic meters, such as between 1000 and 10000 cubic meters, such as between 10000 and l00000 cubic meters.

    DESCRIPTION
    The mobile reservoir consists of at least one, preferably two or three coherently arranged flexible tubes of equal diameter, fillable with liquid, so that they make acircular reservoir.
    In one configuration of theinvention, thereservoir wall comprises one liquid filled tube so as to form a circular reservoir. In another preferred configuration of theinvention, thereservoir wall comprises two liquid filled tubes arranged coherently side by side so as to form acircular reservoir. In yet another preferred configuration of the invention, the reservoir wall comprises two liquid filled circular tubes placed coherently side by side in the bottom, and another circular liquid filled tube placed on top of the bottom two circular tube housing formingatangular cross sectional shape, all tubes having equal diameter (Figure 1).
    In one aspect of the invention, the tube consists of two hoses — an inner liner and an outer liner. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the inner liner diameter is narrower than the outer liner diameter, such that when liquid is filled into the inner liner, the inner liner will expand outwards until the diameter of the outer liner is met.
    Tubescan vary in diameter and thereby also the volume that can be entrained in the reservoir. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the tube is between 40 and 60 cm, such as between 60 and 80 cm, such as between 80 and 110, or such as between 110 and 140 cm.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, and without being limited thereto, the inner lining consists of a liquid proof flexible material such as polyethylene or polypropylene or other liquid proof flexible material, and the outer lining consisting of a higher strength flexible material such as polypropylene. or fiber reinforced material or the like, enablingthetubeto have both liquid proof characteristics (inner lining) and high mechanical strength (outer lining).
    In another embodiment of the present invention, both the inner liner and the outer liner material are compatible (does not deteriorate) with water based solutions, such as sewer water, fresh water, salt water or thelike, and further compatible, without being limited thereof. , with organic based solutions such as oil, gasoline, diesel or other oil based derivatives.
    In another aspect of the invention, the tube material is such that they do not have any stichesor other joints which otherwise could weaken the mechanical integrity of thetubes.
    In yet another aspect of the vent ion, the tubes may have loop running along the side allowing the tubes to be mechanically fastened together. Such a loop scan is also used to anchor the mobi ledrcular reservoir to the surface using spears or other fastening devices (ref. Figure 2).
    The tubes are fastened or fixed in each end by a coupling device made of a rigid material. Without being limitedthereof, thejunction or coupling device can be made of any rigid material such as metal, plastic, fiber reinforced polymer or thelike.
    Thecoupling device consists of conical device for mechanically fastening the inner and outer liner and ultimately the tubes in such a manner that when they are connected to the end side of said tubes they constitute ad rcular arrangement (reservoir).
    In one embodiment of the present invention, the singletube arrangement comprises at least one liquid filled tube, said liquid filled tube connected to each other by a single conical coupling device (hereinafter termed "singlejunction") to makeup acircular arrangement. Further, said singletube arrangement can be configured with a multiple number of tubes interconnected with a multiple number of singlejunctionssoth when combined they constitute adrcular arrangement (reservoir) with adiameter dictated by the amount of tubesand interconnected singlejunctions.
    The singletube circular reservoir arrangement can comprise between 1 and 10 tubes interconnected by between 1 and 10 single junctions, such as between 10 and 20 tubes interconnected by between 10 and 20 si nglejundions or such as between 20 and 40 tubes interconnected by between 20 and 40 si nglejunctions. (ref. figure 6d).
    In another embodiment of the present invention, the side by side tube arrangement comprises a minimum of two equal diameter liquid filled tubes, coherently placed side by side, said a minimum of two liquid filled tubes individually connected to each other by two conical coupling devices (hereinafter termed " doublejunction ") to makeup acircular arrangement (figure6-fig6a, 6b, 6c). Further, said side by side tube arrangement can be configured with amultiplenumber of tubes interconnected with a multiple number of double junctions so that when combined they constitute a circular arrangement (reservoir) with adiameter dictated by the amount of tubesand interconnected doublejunctions.
    The side by side tube circular reservoir arrangement can comprise between 2 and 10 tubes interconnected by between 1 and 5 double junctions, such as between 10 and 20 tubes interconnected by between 5 and 10 double junctions or such as between 20 and 40 tubes interconnected by between 10 and 20 doublejunctions.
    In a further embodiment of the invention, the tube arrangement comprises a minimum of three liquid filled tubes placed coherently sideby sideto form adrcle, and athird placed intermittently on top of the bottom tubes thus forming acircular arrangement with atriangular cross sectional profile.
    Theliquid filled tubesin the triangular tube arrangement can be interconnected by a coupling device comprising three singular conical couplings (hereinafter termed "triple junction") to make up a circular arrangement. Further, the triangular liquid filled tube arrangement can be configured with a multiple number of tubes interconnected with a multiple number of triple junctions such that when combined theyconstituteacircular arrangement (reservoir) with adiameter dictated by the amount of tubes and interconnected triplejunctions.
    Thetriangular liquid filled tube arrangement can comprise between 3 and 30 tubes interconnected by between 1 and 10 triplejunctions, such as between 30 and 120 tubes interconnected by between 10 and 40 triplejunctions or such as between 120 and 240 tubes interconnected by between 40 and 80 triplejunctions.
    An apreferred embodiment of the present invention, the single, dual triple junctions are mounted with adequate filling in liquid and air into the tubes which are mounted to said junctions.
    In another embodiment, asafety device is integrated to said junction to ensure the pressure insidethetubes does not exceed adesired pressure, said safety devicebeingaoverpressure relief valve or other mechanical device that will enable theliquid pressure to dissipate once the hydraulic pressure reaches a pressure of between 0.7 and 1.5 bar, such as between 0.9 and 1.2 bar or such as between 1.2 and 1.5 bar.
    In another object of the invention, each junction has adequate clearance for acontrolled emptying of the water in theliquid filled tubesafter use. In another object, a pi pecan is mounted to the junction functioning relief valve once the tubes are full (ref.figure4).
    In another embodiment of the invention, each junction hasaconical funnel-shaped device for easy mounting of thetubes.
    In an additional object of the invention, the tubes are mounted to the junction by flexible materials such as rubber, and abucklewith asafety lock, the buckle being made of metal or other rigid material (ref figure 5).
    Thejunctionsmakeit possible to extend the liquid filled tubes, thus forming acircular arrangement with diameters ranging from between 5 m to 10 meters, such as between 10 and 20 meters, such as between 20 and 40 meters, such as between 40 and 80 meters, such as between 80 and 150 meters, such as between 150 and 400 meters such as between 400 and 1000 meters. A reservoir made up of circular liquid filled tubes of sample diameter can create folds or buckles in the tubesand may lead to leaks and thus beaweaknesstothereservoir.
    In a particular preferred embodiment of the present invention, the use of minimum uneangled single, double or triple junction will overcome the problem of folding or buckling of the liquid filled tubesand thus preventing leakage and spills and maintaining the mechanical integrity of thecircular mobile reservoir arrangement (figure8 ).
    In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the single, double and triple junctions can be of an angular type junction, thus preventing the tubes from folding or buckling (Figure 6). The junction can be angled to a preferably 40 Degree angle, such as between 20 to 40 Degree, such as between 40 to 60 Degree angle, such as between 60 to 90 Degree, or such as between 120 to 160 Degree angle.
    Due to the fact that the junction is rigid and filled with liquid, the hydraulic pressure in said junction is large enough to fix the tubes so that the filling of liquid can happen under high pressure and a quantity of for example between 1000 and 2000 liters, such like 2000 to 5000 liters, such as 4000 to 10,000 liters per minute, such as 7000 to 15000 liters aminuteor such as between 14000 to 25,000 liters per minute.
    The mechanical integrity of both the sideby sidetube arrangement and thetriangular tube arrangement is such that it remains intact despite, for example, side pressure from running water, side pressurefrom rolling waves or said sidepressure combined with an unstable ground.
    In an object of the present invention, tubes in each section between thejunction or multiple number of junctions are filled simultaneously and will obtain the same hydraulic pressure. The junctions will have adequate gravitational weight in order to fix the circular liquid filled tube arrangement completely.
    Without being limited, the present invention can be used for temporary storage of liquids such as oi I and toxic wastes, such as storage of wastewater from wastewater plantsand drainage systems, such as leaks from other liquid tanks, such as temporary storage of liquid from flash floods, such as liquid deriving from overfilled sewer systems or thelike.
