Hey y'all We'll be meeting tonight to continue working with EPANET or PIPE2010. Professor Bralts came and gave us some suggestions last night that really helped out. We're going to make charts to show the relationship between flow, pressure, and elevation to determine where we should place things. We're feeling very optimistic about things now. See ya, Alex ___________________ Alexander Day EWB-Purdue, President GEP, Student Aid

Hi Guys and Gals, We're meeting tonight to continue our work on the design. Now that we have a firm concept of what the design is, we'll be looking into finer details like specific spots locations and dimensions of the reservoirs, sizes of the pumps, and etc. We'll be meeting in GEP at 7 again so I'll see you then.

[Ewb-list] Meeting Summary & Agenda for Tonight
by Day, Alexander K 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hey'all, We're going to be meeting again tonight in GEP @ 7. Summary: Last night we used cost and reliability numbers to help determine what materials and power source we will choose. After doing some calculations we decided that a water tower may not be necessary due to the elevation advantage the Tree Spring already has. However, it looks like we will need to put in a water mill or water steps to take out some energy out of the main water pipe before we can combine it with the Tree Spring flow. We probably then need to install a pump to bring the entire flow up to desirable pressure. Tonight we are revising the 523 alternatives analysis to reflect our updates and continue exploring cost, reliability, and safety factors. Hope your summer is going great.

[Ewb-list] Project status update & Meeting reminder
by Day, Alexander K 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi everyone, Sorry about the late reminder. There is indeed a meeting tonight at 7 in GEP. Status Update: We now have less than 2 months (10-15 meetings) to finish the 525 Pre Implementation Application if we want to be able to provide clean water to Papachacra this winter. That includes the 523 Alternatives Analysis, the 524 Preliminary Design report, and the completed design, work schedule, and health and safety report required by the 525 Preimplementation Report. We now have a near complete concept of the design we would like to use: Elevate FPS Spring box to make up for pressure lost due to long distance. We will not use Spring 2 because although it would contribute 7000L/ day, we would have to install 250 m of piping, a powerful pump, and a reliable power source 6 km away from the village. The Tree Spring produces about 17,000 L/ day which will meet our goal so we will put in a spring box and build a water tower to provide pressure. We are now looking into a sustainable way to get the water into the water tower, land electric, wind, or playground equipment. Up Next: Design new spring boxes, determine size and placement of reservoirs, and find routes for new piping. Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of the Real Thirsty World: Papachacra. Meeting Briefs: On Monday, we decided that we will only meet twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, for 1.5 hours if we can get enough done. Tonight, we will be finishing the 523, starting the 524, and deciding what work we have to do individually before our next meeting on Monday. A CE grad student will be helping us tonight and a Professor will be joining us every Wednesday starting next week to give us some advise. See you then. ___________________ Alexander Day EWB-Purdue, President GEP, Student Aid

[Ewb-list] Meeting Update
by Day, Alexander K 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hey all, Yesterday we discussed power options and looked into the finer details of wind power options. The final decision between mechanical wind power and land line electric will be based on further research of local sustainability. The options of the tree spring were considered and pros and cons for each one were established. Our next meeting will be on Monday at 7PM in GEP when we will do the cost and sustainability analysis. There will be a file uploaded onto google docs with the details soon. Let me know if you want access. We are probably moving our meetings to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday now. Thanks, Alex ___________________________________________ Alexander Day Engineers Without Borders, President Global Engineering Program, Student Aid Purdue University
