Chocantariy Water Project

 
Project Lead:  Bart Forman

This project involves the construction of household-scale rainwater collection systems for the purpose of collecting and storing clean, drinking water supplies for use during the dry season (January - April).  Each system utilizes a cast-in-place concrete tank (storage) with PVC piping connected to existing tin roofs (collection).  In addition, this project provides training for local masons and creates jobs within the community thereby improving the economic resources of Chocantariy.
