The event will consist of 6-8 exhibits, staffed by graduate students, featuring visual displays and experiential learning activities. Each station will be designed to introduce participants to the social, economic, and environmental impacts that water availability can have on the welfare of the global population. For example, at one station will have 5-gallon jerricans that women in the developing world use to transport water to their household. The objective is to give participants the opportunity to recognize the physical labor and foregone opportunities that result from lack of readily accessible water. The goal is to further educate students and community members and inspire them to use their skills and abilities to help solve society’s looming water problems. 

This event will show the current state of water availability around the world, showing students how necessary it is for this team to maintain our standard of living, and what happens when such infrastructure is not available.  By bringing to light the issues surrounding water inequality, this project will show that true sustainability is not possible without addressing this fundamental human need.
