Tuntatacto Clean Water Supply Improvement Project

planned

Trine University engineering students from the Engineers Without Borders Student Chapter are working to improve the access to clean drinking water for the rural community of Tuntatacto in Ecuador. The project involves assessing the current water infrastructure, conducting water quality and flow rate tests, and exploring the feasibility of capturing runoff from a permanent snowfield to supplement water supply during the dry season. The team plans to design sustainable improvements and oversee construction to provide a reliable, clean water supply year-round.
