Seguridad del agua potable para la Murrurundi Primary School

  • Nombre del sitio

    Murrurundi, NSW, Australia

Desafío

Murrurundi es una localidad rural ubicada en Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia, y es una de las áreas más afectadas por la sequía de este país. La localidad de Murrurundi, tratando de subsistir con un suministro de agua escaso, necesitaba una solución que brindara a los miembros de la comunidad seguridad en el agua potable.

Las restricciones de agua en el área no dejaron a los residentes más remedio que cargar agua desde unos 50 kilómetros de distancia, una solución de agua potable a corto plazo costosa, inmediata e insostenible. Los residentes que no viajaban a otras ciudades para recolectar agua potable dependían de agua en botellas de plástico costosa, poco confiable y perjudicial para el medio ambiente.

Proyecto SOURCE

Three Blue Ducks, un restaurante sostenible que emplea alimentos directos de la granja, se comprometió con apoyar a la localidad de Murrunrundi mediante la donación de 10 hidropaneles SOURCE a la escuela primaria de Murrurundi. Ahora los estudiantes, padres y miembros de la comunidad tienen acceso continuo a agua potable confiable y de alta calidad. El ánimo de la comunidad es mejor con la tranquilidad de saber que su acceso a agua potable de alta calidad es seguro, incluso en tiempos de sequía.

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.
