Our Summer Implementation Trip

September 10, 2018

This past summer, five members of the Navajo Water Project traveled to the Navajo Reservation and constructed an off-grid water system for one other family. 

 

Your donations were vital as all parts of the system were purchased with money donated during the SPARK campaign. Your donation helped provide a 550 gallon water tank, a double basin sink, an electric water pump, a solar panel, a battery, and all the other components required to build a sink with running water. 

 

Thank you again for your generous donation to the project! Feel free to email us at uclanavajowater@gmail.com if you have any questions. We'd love to hear from you! 

 

Here are a few pictures from the trip!

 

 

 

 

A Spring Break Visit to the Navajo Reservation

April 18, 2018

Thank you for being a part of the 72 donors that helped the Navajo Water Project raise $5,540! We really appreciate your generosity and wanted to give you an update on what we've been up to so far!

 

This past Spring Break, 7 of us visited two families out on the Navajo Reservation. We assessed one family's home, taking measurements of their hogan and the surrounding land to prepare for the implementation trip in the summer. In addition, we revisited a family we worked with last year to improve the gray water line and the solar-powered, pressurized water system we constructed. We are continually seeking for more effective and efficient designs for future systems, so revisiting last year's family was extremely helpful. We had a great time working with both families and each other! 

 

Here are a few photos from our trip!
