Michigan Tech students and villagers built a large masonry water storage tank designed by Michigan Tech alum and Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV), Matthew Niskanen for the village of Rancho Viejo located in the mountains near the Haiti border. Students then designed the water distribution system for the village consisting of spring and pump boxes, solar powered pump and associated distribution piping.
