Project Challenges • Our proposed problem was not realized upon arriving in San Pablo • After observing the conditions in San Pablo, we discovered that a Slow Sand Filter was not the most appropriate technology for the people here • The materials we needed were not always available • Research and communication were difficult

  5. Water Collection • Gutter system on Casa Guateca • Rainwater collection tank to be used in the kitchen area
