AGUA, UCSC Trailer Park Garden Revitalization

Sustainability Problem and Proposed Solution: 

Our project aims to advance greywater usage awareness in the UCSC Trailer Park community. By providing an alternative approach to water waste via a filtration system versus the sewage system, we help to lower the Trailer Park's collective water footprint. We hope to bring an interdisciplinary perspective to this issue of sustainability at UCSC through our various majors and academic backgrounds that stray away from STEM-oriented schools of thought.
