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.
