Directing Senior Design and Research Projects toward Societal Needs
Publication: World Water & Environmental Resources Congress 2003
Abstract
Civil Engineers that specialize in Water Resources have significant opportunities to undertake projects that meet the needs of underprivileged in the U.S. and developing countries. Most of the developing countries and many of the rural poor live in arid or semi-arid climates. Especially in developing countries, the problem of inadequate water supplies is endemic in spite of the various United Nations programs. This paper presents a case study that used engineering knowledge to design novel water supply source among Native Americans.
