Street lighting is an essential part of the urban environment, allowing both residents and tourists to feel safer and happier in the area. Using renewables, the rollout of street lighting can be accelerated and completed at a lower cost, while minimising the carbon impact of the scheme. Our design

Everyone has the right to water. It is something we take for granted everyday. However the people of Lobitos and Piedritas cannot afford to take it for granted. With access to water only 2-3 days of the week, it is a constant struggle for the residents. We need water to survive and to go without it

Here at Team RED COG, we wanted to create a product that would be simple to construct and maintain with the knowledge and tools available in the local area, while at the same time delivering a reliable, cost effective way of producing clean drinking water. Our answer to this mission statement is a

How often have you used water within the last week? How about within the last day? Or even within the last hour? Can you imagine your life without the access to water that you have? Every human needs water to survive: whether it’s for drinking, cooking, cleaning or use in local agriculture, it is

1 in 3 people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. This is one of the many factors that has led to the extreme poverty experienced by 70-80% of residents in Lobitos and Piedritas. We propose to install a desalination plant as a solution to the lack of access to clean water. T

In Lobitos and Piedritas there is a serious sanitation problem. We have designed a system that is comprised of multiple biodigesters in combination with oxidation ponds. All sanitation waste from the town will be plumbed through this system and will be turned into usable by-products such as clean dr

Plastic waste is a worldwide issue, spoiling beaches, harming wildlife, and its current recycling schemes taking a toll on the environment. Lobitos and Piedritas are currently no different, but our goal is to tackle this whilst using the same plastic to help the community in a number of ways. Our

The communities of Lobitos and Piedritas heavily rely on neighbouring cities for the food supply, but at the expense of travel time and increased costs. Agriculture attempts are at a subsistence level due to problems with soil fertility, salinity and irrigation. The Farm-Box provides a fertile farm

This year, the University of Strathclyde's team set out to tackle the water shortage being faced in Lobitos and Piedritas. Our proposed solution was to develop solar desalination units which separate clean water from salt and other nasty impurities that are present in the ocean's water. Desali

Caja Fria is a domestic product produced from terracotta, it utilises the natural cooling properties through the pores in the terracotta when in contact with water. Not only keeping food inside cool but providing safe and cold drinking water without the need for the water to be boiled first. Through

What comes to mind when you see the number 75? In fact, this is the percentage of human body weight that water occupies within a single person. Similarly, a person could survive for a remarkable 30 days without food but wouldn’t have the capacity to do the same for 3 days when it comes to water. Und

Building a seaweed farm in Lobitos is a versatile solution to a range of political, social, economic, and environmental issues. Though the arid climate means much of the local land is not suitable for agriculture, the coast of Peru provides ideal conditions for cultivating seaweed, giving Lobitos a

Having analyzed the unique context of the two towns, learning about their financial limitations and environmental challenges. We have identified the urgent need for a reliable cooling mechanism in houses to relieve residents from the heat. Additionally, we have recognized the threat posed by

It is an undeniable fact that nutrition is one of the basic elements of survival. Though the agriculture sector of Peru is significant, it only occurs at a small scale in a bio-orchard in Piedritas. Despite this, most of the local food in Piedritas is bought by traveling to the nearby town of Talara

Our design solution is to provide an efficient water distribution system which transports adequate amounts of clean water to residential, commercial and industrial areas whilst removing wastewater to a treatment facility to be re-iteratively processed and redistributed. This project has the possibi

The past 6 months our team tackled the water shortage problems in Lobitos & Piedritas. As everybody needs water to survive, our aims were to reduce the reliance on the neighbouring city Talara for their water supply, in turn regulating a consistent supply of potable water.

Leonardo Da Vinci once poignantly said, “Water is the driving force of all nature”. Yet, despite 71% of the earth’s surface is covered in water, millions of people go without access to it every day. And of that, 97% of the earth's water is undrinkable salt water. SolarClear is a solar still made co

Can you imagine a crowd of 2.2 billion people? That is enough people to fill the Wembley stadium over 24 thousand times. You might be thinking... why are you asking me that? Well, did you know that worldwide, 2.2 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water? That's almost a third of our

THE ISSUE Heat. The oppressive sun, day in, day out. The people of Lobitos and Piedritas are locked in a constant struggle to stay cool. The lack of building codes means that houses are often built without considering cooling mechanisms, and the intense heat of the day causes high temperatures insi

Team members @BHAVIN MEGGI and Katuntu Tarique At ECO-REPAIR we decided to tackle the issue of energy and extreme temperature. We are all familiar with how uncomfortable summer weather can be, especially when we do not have access to air conditioners and even so, they tend to take up quite their f

Did you know that 9.2% of the world or 689 million people live in extreme poverty? Although we can't help everyone, we believe that our idea can help the people of Peru. We looked at what people wanted the most and came up with an idea that incorporated as many of their ideas as possible. Our desig
