Creamos agua potable renovable para una escuela en una isla remota en Belice

  • Nombre del sitio

    Escuela Católica Romana de Cayo Corker / Centro Comunitario de Cayo Corker

  • Ubicación

    Cayo Corker, Belice

Map
Desafío

Ubicada a solo una milla al oeste de la barrera de coral de Belice, la Escuela Católica Romana de Cayo Corker y el Centro Comunitario de Cayo Corker buscaron una solución resiliente para su agua potable a pesar del clima cambiante. Además, la escuela y el centro comunitario querían encontrar una manera de reducir el uso de plásticos desechables del agua embotellada.

Debido a las tormentas y las inundaciones, la isla de Cayo Corker a menudo tiene dificultades para proporcionar agua potable limpia a los miembros de su comunidad. Ante la necesidad de depender de botellas de agua desechables que generan mucho desperdicio y del suministro de agua en ferry, el agua potable se ha vuelto cada vez más difícil de obtener en la isla, lo que hace que la comunidad sea susceptible a una crisis de escasez de agua.

Proyecto SOURCE

Como parte de su trabajo para desarrollar la resiliencia ante el cambio climático, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) identificó la escuela y el centro comunitario como dos lugares que necesitan agua potable limpia y resiliente. Juntos, el Programa de Islas del Caribe Climáticamente Inteligente del BID y SOURCE instalaron 23 hidropaneles en la Escuela Católica Romana de Cayo Corker y el Centro Comunitario de Cayo Corker. Ahora los estudiantes, el personal y los visitantes de los centros comunitarios tienen un suministro de agua potable sostenible y resiliente a pesar del clima impredecible de las islas.

Hydropanel General Installation Requirements:

  • Sunny mounting location – The SOURCE Hydropanel works best in full sun. Unobstructed sunlight required at least 5 hours per day. Avoid placing under shading objects such as trees, buildings, etc.
  • 4 x 6 foot (1.2 x 1.8 meters) mounting area per Hydropanel.
  • Minimum clearance of 1ft (30cm) in front of and behind the panels to allow access for service.
  • Minimum 3 inches (8 cm) between hydropanels from side to side within an array.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be installed at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from windows and should be positioned considering hydropanel sound with respect to living spaces.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be level from side-to-side with a maximum deviation of 20mm.
  • Hydropanel must be South Facing (180°) for locations in the Northern Hemisphere, or North facing (0°) for locations in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The installation surface must be level. For example, a flat roof, or level ground.
  • Roof mounted hydropanels must be at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the edge of any structure.
  •  
  • Adequate structural integrity of the roof is required. Do not install on a roof that is damaged or otherwise insufficient to hold the weight and wind loads of the hydropanel.
  •  
  • Consider whether there is space for a crane to set up and lift the hydropanels to their mounting location.
  • Ground locations should be firm, level, and evenly composed. The hydropanel can be placed on blocks, concrete, or mounted to lumber to provide a stable base to sit on.
  •  
  • Consider factors like soil composition, and how to manage erosion or plant growth over time.
  •  
  • Avoid installing the hydropanel where they may be wetted from irrigation sprinklers.
  •  
  • Ensure the hydropanel is raised above the specified flood plain.
  •  
  • Hydropanel should be anchored to the ground or sufficiently ballasted to prevent movement or damage from high winds.

Hydropanel Calculator

The amount of water you consume will determine how many panels you’ll need and the size of tanks we recommend. Use our calculator below for our panel and tank recommendation.

Each panel produces on average 180 bottles per month (16.9 oz bottles). For a more accurate estimation based on your location use this tool.
