Both the locals and the future engineers suspected the drinking water was to blame, and they were right. But what no one knew going in was exactly what the scope of the $30,000 project would be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t super-defined when we started out because we hadn\u2019t been to the community yet,\u201d Dolejs said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know what the people there wanted, what we\u2019d be able to accomplish or what was even feasible.

This sometimes left the villagers to rely on the dribble of a single overflow pipe near the top of the reservoir. It was tedious and time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really a challenge and a major component of the woman\u2019s life in that village,\u201d Dolejs said. \u201cThe consensus was they spent most of their day going to collect water and then boiling it to clean it. A new system, at least, would make accessing the water easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22894\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22894 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8262-WEB-200x118.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman from Pambon, Guatemala, fills a pitcher in a basin at one of the village&#8217;s new water treatment units. Submitted photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Mission accomplished<\/h2>\n<p>For certain, the UND students had their work cut out for them. But, they had a rough plan. They would design and build a water treatment and storage system that would incorporate clothes-washing stations and two new chlorinating tanks at the far outreaches of the village \u2014 one at the top elevation and one at the bottom \u2014 so neither end would be at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>Data gathered and surveys complete, they returned to UND and immediately got the ball rolling. And when the pandemic threatened progress later that year, they pushed on. Unable to return to construct the project themselves, the team reached out to an international EWB branch to hire local contractors \u2014 and the contractors got the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, back home, Schauer and Dolejs were getting a whole lot more done. With the technical knowledge and real-world experience they had gained at UND, they both landed internships with Grand Forks\u2019 Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, or AE2S. They earned prestigious scholarships from the Associated General Contractors of North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>And just last month, they both signed on with AE2S for full-time jobs after graduation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/ENG-IMG_8263-WEB-200x118.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This structure, part of the water treatment system engineered by UND students, sits on the slopes of a mountain by the village of Pambon, Guatemala.
