Meeting with LIFE (26th June)

Throughout this project, NTU SIFE has been seeking advice from Lien Institute for the Enivronment(LIFE) with regards to the technical aspects of building a water filtration system in CROAP.

In this meeting, we managed to get a clearer picture of the costings involved in the project. A filtration unit costs approximately 500-700 Sing dollars. A cemented water pond will cost a few hundred dollars, depending on the size. The cost involved is clearly not definited, as it can be affected by the fluctuations of the local prices.

We also obtained a blueprint of the filtration unit from LIFE. It gave us a clearer picture of the internal working and the space required for the construction.

Now I will need to liaise with CROAP with this new information.
