In several communities, MADRE is working in collaboration with the Indigenous Information Network to install community water collection points or water collection tanks. For water collection points, we will construct barriers to protect the water sources from outside contaminants. The barriers have outlets to allow water to flow freely downstream and to be carried by pipes to the water collection points that are closer to villages and can be accessed any time of day. We will also develop watering troughs for animals to prevent erosion and environmental deterioration of the areas around clean water sources. For water collection tanks, MADRE will install the appropriate equipment to ensure a regular source of clean water for area schools. All of MADRE's clean water projects will be conducted in close consultation with community members, who will receive training on health, hygiene, and the maintenance of community water systems.
