Description : Discussion on how the kit could be installed and how it works. Delegates also try to find out if the health of people who drink this water has improved.

Many people are sick from drinking water from the polluted Putumayo river. The ICRC has a program to distribute water tanks and material to gather rain water from the roofs of the people's houses.
