Aral Region Water Filtration

In late March, I joined a team of local environmental engineers and organizers on a project to support access to clean water in the Aral Region of western Uzbekistan.

Overview

The following table describes the activities conducted at each of the 4 schools we visited:

In total, we worked with 131 students across 4 schools and provided clean drinking water to over 2,500 members of the schools’ respective communities.

Engineering Lessons

We designed and instructed lessons for 6 days across two weeks. I led two of these lessons, one on water usage statistics and another on water filtration. My lessons were given in English with translation by one of our Uzbek partners.

Sirojiddin led sessions on Arduino temperature and humidity sensors and Xumora taught the students simple water transport and fluid dynamics. During their lessons, I checked in on students to ensure they were placing their wires into the correct pins and checking their pressure and velocity calculations.
