See Corresponding Project Theses and Reports The
MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)
started the Haiti Project in 2001 and has had teams working there
for three consecutive years. Political instability kept us out of
Haiti in 2004. Since 2001 in Haiti, we have evaluated the Gift of
Water Filter’s 2-bucket rough filter/granular activated carbon
filter + chlorine system and program, the Safe Water System, various
aspects of chlorine generation, demand, trihalomethane formation,
and Solar Disinfection (SODIS). We have also performed health studies
and evaluated health impacts of these safe water interventions.
