A team of University of Minnesota students will travel to India to share their ideas and plans for helping bring clean water to thousands of residents living in the slums of Mumbai.
Brian Bell, Karthikeyan Bharath Kumar, Mark Lundgren, and Tony Schrempp—all civil engineer students—will leave May 26 for a two-week trip to India.
The team will assess the situation, talk with local residents, and begin implementing their plan that addresses issues of water quality and availability for potentially hundreds of thousands of people.
When implemented, their program will be housed in the Mumbai’s existing Slum Sanitation Program buildings, and use a pre-existing customer base and infrastructure. Their business will combine source water storage with ultraviolet water to supply 60 liters per day of clean, low-cost water.
