Desafío

Five Loaves and Two Fishes es un banco de alimentos dirigido por voluntarios que sirve a los residentes del condado de McDowell, Virginia Occidental. Además de proporcionar comida, agua, ropa y otras necesidades a su comunidad, Five Loaves and Two Fishes organiza una serie de eventos comunitarios, actividades y clases de ejercicios. Five Loaves and Two Fishes busca continuamente formas creativas e innovadoras de apoyar a la comunidad y de proporcionar agua potable limpia y confiable a los miembros de la comunidad que más la necesitan en un área que enfrenta importantes desafíos de agua potable.

Muchas comunidades en el condado de McDowell tienen un acceso extremadamente limitado al agua potable, y varias ciudades de la zona han recibido el aviso de hervir el agua durante cinco años. Debido al riesgo de contaminación de los suministros de agua entubada y al alto costo del agua embotellada, muchos residentes viajan habitualmente para llenar recipientes pesados con agua en los arroyos cercanos a la carretera. La falta de agua potable limpia y confiable ha hecho que el agua embotellada sea uno de los artículos de mayor demanda de Five Loaves y Two Fishes.

Proyecto SOURCE

Five Loaves and Two Fishes se asociaron con Dig Deep, SOURCE y one2one USA Foundation para brindar agua SOURCE de alta calidad fabricada con nuestros hidropaneles. Esta tecnología produce agua con la luz solar y el aire únicamente, produciendo un nuevo suministro renovable de agua potable segura para los residentes. Con los hidropaneles SOURCE, Five Loaves y Two Fishes pueden aumentar significativamente la cantidad de agua proporcionada a la comunidad en sus distribuciones regulares.

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.
