EWB-UCSD Needs an Engineer for India/Nepal Rainwater Harvesting Project

EWB-UCSD is planning a rainwater harvesting and aquifer location project near the border of India and Nepal. They have Rotary contacts as well as a Civil Engineer with many years of experience there but they are desperately in need of another engineer (civil, environmental, etc.) who possesses the expertise relevant to the project. Because they cannot begin the project without an engineer who can guide them and travel with them on site, they are unable to start building the proposal.

If you are interested and are able to help, please contact Eugene at info@ewb-sandiego.org.

State Representative for Chapters in the Inland Empire, Orange County and San Diego Area

EWB is looking for a State Rep., who will conduct monthly phone calls with the above chapters, make personal visits based on their discretion and participate and contribute in the monthly steering committee calls. Their main role is cooperative rather than authoritative – their main function would be to provide a platform for knowledge-sharing and a forum to share successes and failures within Chapters.
