This semester I will be working on the Milli-Sedimentation Subteam. The goal of this subteam is to design a small-scale sedimentation apparatus using coffee straws and a 1 inch PVC pipe. The apparatus will function for both sedimentation and filtration. The viablity of this apparatus will be tested by the ability to clean it as well as the different tests.

My goal for this semester to find a way to test microbiological water safety that is practical, efficient, and cheap. I plan on researching the standard different methods with my subteam and looking towards different methods from the standard ones as well. Finding a test that works well in the low resource setting of Honduras is difficult given the scarcity of resources. That is why the materials that we choose must be practical.
