Our mission is to improve water treatment technologies so that communities can afford safe, clean water while providing an exceptional educational experience for university students. Our focus is on small-scale water treatment systems that can operate without an external power source and that can be maintained by rural communities. We are working with http://www.apphonduras.org/ Agua Para el Pueblo in Honduras with the goal of increasing their capacity so they can scale up the technologies and address the turbidity problems in community water supplies. To accomplish this goal we will establish CEE 255-455 as a new service learning course; enhance CEE 454, Sustainable Small Scale Water Supply course to include service learning; recruit Master Engineering students for the project; and involve additional faculty in the project.
