Our design consists of several parts:
•A water supply system incorporating a spring catchment, a settling tank, and a storage tank•A personalized water purification process consisting of biosand filtration and bleach disinfection•An irrigation system which utilizes a rain catchment system for the community trees and vegetable garden•Improving sanitation by providing designs for latrine pits and access to educational materials. Included are designs for a hot water system, which should help promote showering/bathing
