project description:
The project that we had to do was that we had to make a water filter from scratch and we had to bring in our own materials. The water filters are for specific people who live in a real place that struggles with lack of access to clean water. To succeed in this project, we had to engage in both scientific and social issues to engineer a working solution that meets the needs of the community. After that we hade to choose a country and figure out what their water problem was and how we could fix their problem. So we did some research on that country and found out what their problem was and made our water filters to be able to fix their horrible problem.
Our water filter design :
area description:
Kenya, a third world country where there are many people have to get their water out of streams and ponds every day, clean water, and therefore a water filter, is something that is a necessity.There needs to be enough water for the cattle and the people. There have been a lot of deadly diseases that are caused because of the water not being clean. The human population depend heavily on fresh drinking water, but they do not have that. They get their water from streams that contain a bunch of bacteria and other things. They need a filtration system that they can carry along to wherever they go. A lot of people from Kenya migrate to go where there is food, but also have live stock. A large part of the Diet in Kenya’s society would be cow meat. Because of this they need fresh clean water to clean this meat.
