Havana Water Project Talk
Robert Cottrell, Hugo Baker and Hayley Sharp will present The Havana Water Project - The Trip to Cuba.
Earlier this summer 4 students from Bristol University secured funding to go out to Havana, Cuba to meet with their counter parts at CUJAE, the Polytechnic of Havana.
<!--break-->The Havana Water project team at Bristol has been working closely with a group of students and young Professors at CUJAE over the past year looking at Havana’s inefficient and under funded water network. The aim of the trip was to improve communication with the teams partners in Havana, collect valuable information including maps of the system, build better relationships with local water boards and view the proposed area that a solution will be implemented in.
Two team members will talk about their experiences in Havana, what the project is about and the what future developments there will be in the next year.The project is also going to be entered into this years prestigious Mondialogo Engineering Award with the hope of winning the top prize of 20,000 Euros.
We are looking for keen engineering students to get involved in the project this year.If you are interested in the project or just want to know a little more then please come along to the talk send us an email.
The project would like to thank the following people and organisations for their kind support:
Professor Eric Thomas - Vice Chancellor, Mr Derek Pretty - Registrar and the Alumni Foundation
Professor Ian Cluckie, Mrs Marghi Peacock, Staff and students at CUJAE
and
Mr Carlos Fernandez - Aballi

EWB Gallery
The built environment provides us with clean water, electricity, roads and strong homes and buildings. Often, these services are taken for granted- but in the developing world, these services can be precious, expensive and rare.
As part of the National Science and Engineering Week, this exhibition showcases some of the work NGOs have conducted overseas, to improve the built environment for those in need.
