Hydrophilanthropy - 1
Term coined by David Kreamer of UNLV around 2005. Never really defined it.
[See DK’s article ‘The Meaning of Hydrophilanthropy’ in September 2010 Water Resources IMPACT]

Hydrophilanthropy -2 Definition: Altruistic concern
for the water, sanitation, and related needs of humankind,
often manifested by contributions of work, money, or
resources. -- M. Campana

Hydrophilanthropy – 3 (Broader)• Does not necessarily imply working in ‘classic’
developing regions (Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia, etc.)
• Includes volunteering as water expert for tribal, state, local, Federal government commissions/committees; watershed councils; NGOs; etc.
• Can involve applied or basic research, e.g., water purification (pathogens, arsenic, fluoride, etc.); latrine, stove, pump design & engineering; rapid assessment techniques; remote sensing;
• Can be relief or development work• Education & outreach

Hydrophilanthropy - 4 Alternate definition: “I can’t
define hydrophilanthropy, but I know it when I see it.”

Court Justice Potter Stewart)

MDGs, WaSH, etc.“There are probably more annoying
things than being hectored about African development by a wealthy Irish rock star in a cowboy hat, but I can’t think of one at the moment.” – Paul Theroux, referring to Paul Hewson (aka Bono), The Honolulu Advertiser, 8 January 2006

Millennium Development Goals(8 MDGs; see http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals)
• Promulgated in 2005: Target 7.C: WatSan - by 2015, reduce by 50% the number of people without access to improved drinking water (~ 1.1B) or sanitation (~ 2.4 B) Note: DW number likely too low; ‘improved’ v. ‘safe’?
• WatSan goal: not ‘rocket science’ but requires $$ and political will
• Drinking water MDG recently met (??)• Sanitation MDG: fall short by 700M?

Panamá Project• In 1999–2000 working under the auspices
of Lifewater International, taught team of Embera Indians to drill and complete wells, install pumps.
• Team of four gringos – Loring Green, Bob Jarrett, Craig Woodring, and I
• In May 2000 conducted training trip; drilled two wells, left equipment, supplies
• No return – issues with FARC guerrillas• Out of touch till 2008; contact via PCV• 2014 – team still drilling!

Accomplishments• Trained 6-man Embera team• Team drilled three wells: two producers (c. 25 gpm) and one dry hole (< 1 gpm)• Team installed one submersible and one hand pump• Provided one LS-100, mud pump, 500 feet
of 4” ID PVC, drilling mud, 3 Bush hand pumps, cement, submersible pump, tools
• Renewed contact via Peace Corps in 2008 • Team still drilling – 2014!

Failures
• Poor USA-Panamá communications with locals; made coordination and planning difficult• No follow-up – future trips were canceled because of dangerous conditions (Plan Colombia)• Lost touch with team after training

Honduras Project – Students • From 2001-2005, I conducted field course for U of
NM Master of Water Resources students in Honduras - three weeks each June. See JCWRE and IMPACT articles (URLs on slide 9)
• Partnered with Hondureños Alex del Cid Vásquez, Rolando López, SANAA, and local villagers to help build gravity-flow water systems (dam, tank, piping) in 5 villages in the Sierra de Omoa.
• Introduced students to hydrophilanthropy and the struggles of many just to obtain clean drinking water.

Alex del Cid Vásquez, “el jefe de agua”
![Page 26: Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020423/5681479b550346895db4cece/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Five villages located in the Sierra de Omoa, a rugged mountain range ~30 km NW of San Pedro SulaClimate: Warm and humid with distinct wet and dry seasons. Average annual rainfall of 250 cm (~100 inches)
![Page 27: Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020423/5681479b550346895db4cece/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why Work in the Sierra de Omoa?According to my Honduran friends:
•Relatively few people – little political power •Rugged topography, poor roads – politicians, civil servants don’t often want to make the effort to visit or work there (except during election season)•NGOs don’t want to work there – risk of failure is too highSo why work there?
It’s a challenge!

Accomplishments• Helped build five gravity-flow potable
water systems serving about 2,000 people• Provided instruction to locals in sanitation
and hygiene• Cross-cultural, life-changing (for some)
experience for 65 students• Empowered local women – can do other
things besides gathering water; girls can go to school
• Gringos can be “good neighbors”
![Page 34: Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020423/5681479b550346895db4cece/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Shortcomings• No follow-up – SANAA (Honduran
government agency) dropped the ball• Need continued training, support• Sustainability and Monitoring &
Evaluation (see IMPACT articles by Christine Casey Matute and Stephanie Moore)
• Change in social dynamics of villages – gender roles. Is this good?

Hydrophilanthropy: Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned & Learning from
Failure
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” – African proverb
![Page 36: Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020423/5681479b550346895db4cece/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hydrophilanthropy: Mistakes I Made
• See a problem and am inclined to solve it with my methods, because that’s how I do it. How would locals do it? Which is better and why?
• If there is no local input and participation, then there is no community “buy in” - “not my well – not my problem – he’ll come back and fix his well if it breaks.”
• Neglecting economic development: people need means to maintain wells, pumps, etc. Social entrepreneurship!
• Forgot about multidisciplinary perspective and public health!
• Sustainability, Monitoring & Evaluation!
![Page 37: Outline](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020423/5681479b550346895db4cece/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What I Learned• Use appropriate technology
• Too complicated = unsustainable• Need societal infrastructure
• Effective governance • Need understanding, commitment,
training • Stakeholder involvement required• Failure to learn from mistakes - no
outcomes assessment, monitoring & evaluation (M & E)
• Beware: self-congratulatory, feel-good approach. Need patience; Tranquilo!
• Need partners in-country
