Eruba Primary School’s Rainwater Harvesting System Now Operational

The school was able to complete its promised contribution to this project just before I arrived so budget was then available to get the water pumps fitted to underground tanks.

Gutters are fiited with traps to collect the first rainfall which is dirty from having washed the rooves clean. A filter on the tank inlet further stops  leaves and small creatures from entering the tank.

Feti Stephen, teacher in charge of the Deaf unit said deaf and hearing pupils were excited at the prospect of water that was cleaner and could be collected much more quickly. Surveys will be conducted at the end of the next term (early December).
