Camarones Water Project

The Camarones Community
Camarones, a neighboring town of Tabuga, consists of three spread out neighborhoods. In the spring of 2017, members of the Camarones community noticed our work in Tabuga and contacted us for assistance with providing their community with potable water. Currently, Camarones residents are expected to purchase their water from truck shipments; however, due to seasonal flooding that prevents the trucks from accessing the community, community members are forced to obtain their water from an untreated river, resulting in obvious health and safety concerns.

Our Solution
​
Our main goals are to install an electric well pump, implement an appropriate water treatment system, and install a piping network to provide a safe and reliable water supply year-round for the community.

As always, our projects are executed with the community as our first priority. We hold meetings with members to learn what their needs are and how we can help achieve them. It is imperative to us that we keep open and consistent communication with the community to discuss the progress of our goals.
Assessment Trips
To date, our team has taken three assessment trips to Camarones to survey potential water sources, determine available materials, and gather community insight. Our most recent trip in August 2019 focused on finalizing data collection and discussing plans with community members. 
Implementation Trip
We will be traveling in August 2022 to implement our design! The travel application can be found below. Send your completed application to ewbecaudor2@gmail.com by February 4, 2022.
