UW-Stout students engineering new, clean water system for village in Ecuador

News, University of Wisconsin - Stout, Dunn County
Residents of a village in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador are looking forward to having — for the first time — clean water, thanks to the skills and efforts of determined engineering students at University of Wisconsin-Stout.
The students are members of the university’s Engineers Without Borders chapter. They designed a system that captures spring water and chlorinates it for safe consumption. Then, gravity transports it in buried pipes down the mountain to a pair of 5,000-liter holding tanks, where villagers will access it.
