- 1. Real Change: Bringing Water to Metahara, Ethiopia Victoria Davidjohn, Jacqueline Rosso, Adrian Rangel, Brandon Hodges The Electrical Engineering Group:
- 2. The Issue at Hand • 330 million people are without water in Sub- Saharan Africa • 13.19% of land is arable in Ethiopia o 80% of Ethiopians are farmers • Result: famine and starvation
- 4. Lake Basaka • Risks polluting Awash River with salt water • Possibility of reduction of crop growth, e.g. sugar, corn, wheat • Causes flooding in the surrounding 50 kilometers
- 5. Metahara, Ethiopia • Population: estimated at 21,300 • 2.7 miles away from Lake Basaka • Located besides the intra-continental railroad • Home to the biggest sugar factory in Ethiopia • One of the top ethanol producers
- 6. How do we increase the productivity of crops in Metehara, Ethipioa through irrigation? 2. Educate locals on irrigation maintenance 1. Create irrigation system powered by solar panels 3. Maximize crop production with minimal water usage 4. Stabilize economy 5. Increase per capita income START The Solution
