Although safe and clean water is a fundamental human right, many people around the world do not possess access to it daily. In rural Kenya, the lack of water availability is a common challenge villages face. To address this issue, the combined Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Water Accessibility Team designed, built, and implemented a rainwater catchment system at Naki Secondary School in Naki, Kenya. After examining the project site and identifying the specifications of the stakeholders further, the structural design was altered to better meet user needs and design requirements. Due to these alterations, the Naki community now has a reliable source of clean water.
