Isla Urbana is a nonprofit working in Mexico City as well as in other areas of Mexico to improve water quality and water accessibility to people who have no reliable access to clean water. They coordinate efforts with different communities to build local capacity and local jobs for designing and building rainwater catchment systems around Mexico. They provide design assistance, training to plumbers, and provide parts for the rainwater harvesting systems. This is one project in a series of water quality and community service projects at Isla Urbana.
Water access is often unreliable in Mexico City and many poor or migrant or immigrant communities are the last to receive any service in terms of access to municipal water. Garafon trucks full of clean drinking water drive around the streets selling water to whoever can afford it. Municipal water is often turned off for 3-4 months at a time a year. Piping with clean municipal water may also get contaminated in some houses with grey water based on plumbing problems. Isla Urbana has dedicated themselves to increasing access to fresh water supplies by just collecting what all ready falls from the sky. This solution not only gives people access to fresh water, it also helps reduce flood flooding that causes further problems for stormwater and wastewater treatment systems in Mexico City.Selected quote
The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
