VCU EWB students working with a
biosand filter prototype
|
This year there are plans on trialing a new biosand filter that may ultimately provide clean drinking water to people in very remote regions of Honduras. The EWB group has created a prototype device and has plans to systematically study this over the next few months and on the ground in Honduras this upcoming June. The group also will re-trial a novel water catchment device first deployed in Honduras in June 2014.
