Water Catchment, Filtration and Storage for Puerto Sol, Peru
The people of Puerto Sol live isolated on the banks of the Ucayali River, which provides an endless flow of water past their homes. This natural force of nature is also their source of drinking water for the majority of the year, but it's unsafe for consumption.
The EWB-USA San Diego Professional Chapter has partnered with the community to help address the need for safe, reliable, accessible water by developing a rainwater harvesting system.

About the Project
Project Start Date: September 2018
The EWB-San Diego Professional Chapter of EWB-USA applied for a community partnership with Puerto Sol in 2017. We officially adopted the program in May 2018, and started our first project to bring clean water to Puerto Sol in September 2018.
Project Status: Assessment Phase
The Peru Team is currently preparing for our first trip to the community. The Assessment Phase is designed to establish connections with our community partners, gather data needed for alternatives analysis and design, and to assess the baseline conditions for our required Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) documentation.
