The Health & Education Relief Organization (HERO) is partnering with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Chapter of the University of Central Florida to perform a water source study for Mare Brignol in the Southeast Department of Haiti. The study will determine the most cost effective and technically feasible way of providing water to the hilly area where approximately 6,800 people live. The area is approximately 2,000 feet above sea level on the main road between Marigot and Belle Anse. The study will address both quantity (possible concrete cistern for storage) and quality (water treatment).
