Officially, the Texas A&M University Water Project is a project for inquiry, issues, and innovation, with an interdisciplinary coalition of artists, community workers, educators, engineers and other scholars dedicated to issues of social justice and public service primarily inspired by and dedicated to production, distribution, and research of affordable, appropriate technology point of use ceramic water filters by and for residents in Texas Colonias and International communities--so say the scholars.
The Community Outreach Heath Workers translated this to "the water project will increase awareness, assist end user application, develop community based sustainable, low tech, micro enterprises."
Community residents who lack adequate access to potable water simply ask "Can I do what you say I can, by just using clay and sawdust?"
Plan A, B, C, and D plus flexibility can create positive results at each point.
Group experiences in Bolivia, Monterrey, Mexico and Border Colonias will be shared with the group for discussion.
Sanitizing filtered water can be processed using chlorine and solar power anywhere--or can it?
Can we go back to the old ways? Finding an old solution to a current problem--Arsenic.
Plans A, B, C, and D will be shared.
