See Corresponding Project Theses and Reports The
Peru Project was initiated by the MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering
(CEE) Department
in the 2003-2004 academic year. A team comprised of environmental
engineering and MIT Sloan Business School students traveled to Peru
in January 2004 to compare 3 different drinking water interventions:
the Peru “Table Filter” which is a locally made sand
and ceramic water filter, the Safe Water System, and a conventional
community scale centralized water treatment plant. A second team
of engineering students returned to Peru over the summer 2004 and
continued the preliminary work begun in January 2004. |
