Their Water Supply June 5, 2007

Filed under: Poverty — hondurasplus @ 1:42 am

Eric and I had an opportunity to go up and see La Acequia’s water supply. From what Johnny had told us before, the water system was really bad and did not work adequately enough to supply water to the entire town.

Johnny’s work with the town for the past five years has been focused on getting their water system up and running. Johnny was instrumental in helping to get a Korean company down river to donate all of the supplies needed to create a better water system.

This is the water system that the men of the town have built from the resources from the Korean company. It is 1000 times better than what they had (unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the old).

Five miles of pipes were placed from this point all the way down the river to the town and the men of the town placed all of them.

Actually this is the water system that the town had before the huge hurricane came and completely distroyed it.

This is us walking up stream to see other town’s water sources.
