For the future of AguaClara, the project must maintain a learning process approach to building new plants, while being able to direct certain tasks to other key players. Just as financial considerations are important to understand and consider, there are also social aspects to the AguaClara project that should be evaluated. Such aspects include an easier method to survey community members, understanding community participation and the interaction with local leadership, and the social capital involved. After all, AguaClara is not just a drinking water treatment plant, it is educating a population on proper sanitation, on sustainable water use practices, and empowering a community to be able to drink their own water and be proud of this freedom.
