1 KATIE ENG DAYTON PICKERING JESSICA RICCIO RURY VELASQUEZ AND IAN BUCK Water Collection and Sanitation

2 Our Group

3 Problem Statement The conditions of the water in San Pablo are for the most part unknown There is an abundance of rainwater in the wet season and a lack of water for agricultural purposes in the dry season

4 Project Challenges Our proposed problem was not realized upon arriving in San Pablo  After observing the conditions in San Pablo, we discovered that a Slow Sand Filter was not the most appropriate technology for the people here The materials we needed were not always available Research and communication were difficult

5 Water Collection Gutter system on Casa Guateca Rainwater collection tank to be used in the kitchen area

6 Gutter System and Tank Designed wooden crutches to hold the gutters Connected the downspout to the collection tank using PVC Fixed leaks and erosion points caused by system

7 Water Sanitation Water sample tests from each source Water sample tests from house drinking and tap water

8 Water Testing from Sources Hiked to the four sources in San Pablo to take water samples Tested samples taken with test strips and turbid meter SourceSector Served 11 and 3 22 34 45
