Duke Engineers Without Borders in Peru

 

In 2007, Duke EWB sent Lee Pearson and sophomore Maggie Hoff to Peru to work with Lindsay Dubbs from the EWB chapter at UNC-Chapel Hill on a water project in Ciudad de Dios. Ciudad de Dios, a small squatter village, can only provide half its population with running water due to geographical constraints. While the Peru team was at the village, they conducted a site assessment, using a GPS plotter to make a map of the pipes and taps in the village, installing a flow meter at the main pipeline, and choosing a site for a water reservoir at the top of the village.
