Engineers Without Borders

Projects

EWB-OSU currently has one international and several domestic projects. We encourage everyone to get involved with a project, domestic or international. If you are interested in starting a new project as a member of EWB-OSU or have a potential project that you think would be a good fit for the chapter, please contact the executive board.

El Salvador Water Project

EWB-OSU is partnered with the mountain communities of Las Mercedes and El Naranjito to design and install an efficient , appropriate, and locally sustainable water filtration and delivery system. These rural Salvadoran mountain communities have a history of deficient accessibility to potable water. Although sufficient supplies of water exist in natural springs, residents must hike long distances and carry the water over rough, sometimes impassable terrain. Read more…

Rainwater Catchment Project at the OSU Organic Growers Club Farm

The rainwater catchment project is a sub-project of the El Salvador water project. EWB-OSU has partnered with the Organic Growers Club to design and install a rainwater catchment system on a small building at the club farm. This project not only provides the farm with a new source of water but also serves as the pilot project for EWB-OSU’s efforts in El Salvador. A presentation of the project plans is available in Power Point form here.
