Grant Project Update

Friday, Feb. 19, 2010

Molly Duphy recently wrote CSTS:

Hi!
Ryan, Mindy and I are still in the design phase of our project, so there are not many photos of our work thus far. However, Ryan made a trip to Honduras at the beginning of January to collect the design criteria necessary for us to start the design. Attached are a few of the pictures he sent me from his trip.
 
Currently, there are not enough pipelines and taps to be able to facilitate each house. We are designing a distribution system that will bring water directly to each house. The rest of the pictures that Ryan took on his first trip to Honduras were more to document the current conditions in Pajarillos. However, after our second trip to Honduras in late March, we will be able to share many more photos of the filtration system we are designing and installing for this community.
 
 
 
 
This picture is of a house in Pajarillos, Honduras, which is the village in which we are working. This photo shows the hilly terrain that we are working with to design the water distribution system.

This second photo is an example of the water taps that distribute water to individual houses.
