This project improved the old and overwhelmed wastewater system of Fundación Paraguaya’s Escuela - Agrícola in Paraguay. Site assessments, interviews, and system integrity analysis were used and water usage data was collected to generate maps of the current structures and develop plans for a new system. The system fits the campus’s needs and includes plans for proper maintenance, an ecological filter to treat wastewater, and a composting system to create fertilizer from solid remains. These plans provide the school with an integrated and sustainable waste treatment system.
