Solar Drip Irrigation Systems
Today, Fatu talked about her work on the Jorit project over summer 2009. She also addressed ways that the well project needs to be improved during the summer of next year. Would there be a way to improve the well project by drilling deeper wells, and then implementing a solar-powered water pump to ensure that there is a reliable source of water consistently? I did a little research and saw that the Solar Electric Light Fund has a project up that may be relevant reading for us:

Maybe this is something we can discuss at a future meeting! Since they want to drill these wells in December 2009, if we want to throw a fundraiser for an organization (in addition to our own fundraisers for Jorit), they would be a good recipient? We could definitely bring a SELF person to campus to talk about the different projects/experiences... What does everyone else think?
I hope everyone is having a good weekend! See you all on Thursday!
Yours in sustainable development,
Eden

This is a great idea. We can discuss this more. I’ll read up on SELF.
