S&T's Engineers Without Borders travels to Honduras

A group of students from the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) student chapter at Missouri University of Science and Technology will travel to Santiago, Honduras, to increase access to clean drinking water for more than 6,000 community members. The students will leave for Santiago on Sunday, May 18, and return on Sunday, May 25. The EWB team will meet with local leaders to better define the community's needs, work to design a way to bring water to an elevated part of Santiago and continue to conduct water quality tests to monitor decreases in biological contamination after adding chlorine to the water. The team has been remotely monitoring a water chlorination system that they installed in the community last summer. The team routinely calls water operators in Honduras and contacts Santiago's mayor to gauge the community's use of the system. This past winter break, the team installed two more chlorination systems.
