PROJECT PROPOSAL
The Ugandan Water Project, our implementing partner, will erect two 10,000 liter polyethylene tanks on bases made of brick, hard core, and cement. Once cured, the crew will place the tanks on the bases and make an overflow hole in the top of each structure and attach pipes to them that will extend six inches beyond the perimeter of the bases. Crew members will also attach face boards to the roofs of the building adjacent to the tanks in order to create a suitable surface to which they can attach the gutters that will allow water to flow from the metal roofs to the tanks. Just before the outlet pipes reach the tanks, “T” joints will be inserted to create a first flush, a rudimentary filtration system that reduces the amount of debris and contaminants that enter the tanks. The crew will then construct protective walks around the tanks and first flush, as well as tap stands located slightly downhill of the tanks. The rainwater collection systems will be paired with four Sawyer Point One water filters each in order to ensure that all water collection from the tank will be safe for drinking.
