Our impact on the world

Potable Water

Thomas Soerens, a professor of civil engineering, asked his students to design a simple water-filtration system for the people of Zaragoza, Colombia. Despite living in the Amazon basin, their village had no safe drinking water. The students designed a system that gathered rainwater and filtered it through a series of water barrels to provide clean water. It's also inexpensive, easy to operate and a model for similar systems anywhere that rain is abundant and electricity is scarce.
