Abstract
The purpose of this project was to help those less fortunate than what we see in our everyday lives. The team plans to give access to clean water and sanitation to families in the Dominican Republic. People in these rural areas resort to walking and carry water through rugged terrain for miles to get unfiltered, unsafe water to their families. Through the Blue Missions group, there have been over 36 thousand people connected to water and over 12 thousand people connected to improved sanitation. This work was all due to the over 5 thousand volunteers helping to make this happen.
This project aims to provide the people of Juan Pio a more efficient and safer alternative to fresh water. A dam will be built to hold water for a system of pipes to filter, contain, and deliver water to over 98 families. A holding tank will be used to contain filtered water for the use at any time. This report will go through the design process of the system and tank, the travel experience of the team, and the impact of the project within the community.
