La comunidad de Carolina del Sur lucha contra la injusticia ambiental

  • Lugar:

    Iglesia Kingdom Living Temple

  • Ubicación:

    Florence, SC

Desafío

Apoyo a los defensores de la justicia social para llevar una fuente confiable de agua potable de calidad a su comunidad. Durante generaciones, los residentes de Florence, SC, han lidiado con tuberías oxidadas y agua descolorida con altos niveles de cobre y plomo, por eso no pueden confiar en el agua que beben. El cambio climático está agravando la situación, con frecuentes inundaciones que contaminan los pozos y cortan el suministro de energía. Muchos en la comunidad han recurrido al agua en botellas de plástico, una solución costosa para las familias y el medioambiente.

Proyecto SOURCE

Con la creencia compartida de que el agua potable es un derecho humano fundamental, no una cuestión relacionada con el lugar adonde vive o el color de su piel, New Alpha Community Development Corporation, All Aboard for Justice, The Solutions Project y SOURCE Global, PBC, se han unido para crear una fuente de agua potable segura, resistente a cualquier condición climática y de alta calidad para la comunidad, producida de una manera sostenible y respetuosa con el medioambiente. Hoy, la iglesia Kingdom Living Temple, una iglesia de afroamericanos en Florence, está equipada con hidropaneles SOURCE® que permiten entregar agua potable de primera calidad directamente a un dispensador seguro contra el COVID dentro de la iglesia y abierto a la comunidad.

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.
