Aeration and disinfection of drinking water ponds from rainwater

A client of ours is funding water storage facilities for individual allotments in the Sudan. It is a matter of creating a lined pond and then covering same so that the owners can draw drinking water from rainfall over the dry season.

The problem is how do you keep it aerated and how do you disinfect same in a low technology way.

Do you know anything about this or perhaps someone who would have the necessary experience of low tech approaches to such matters.

I've told him as bit about them typical operation of hafirs in the area and at the time that I was in Sudan.
