“Potable Water Solutions in Nicaragua” presented by Katie Stahel, Chemical Engineering, and Nathan Devol, Mechanical Engineering, Engineers Without Borders
Transcript available upon request
Clemson’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders has worked in La Pintada, a rural community in Nicaragua, for four years. During this time, we have been able to identify issues with the water system in the community, and we have begun implementing solutions with the drilling of a well and updating of the distribution system. Our future implementation will include a chlorinator for the well and a structure to house it. Throughout this time, students have gained engineering design experience and hands on experience through travel and our chapter has developed a strong relationship with the community members of La Pintada.
