Engineers Without Boarders
Padre Dam Tour – Fri. Nov. 15
Engineers Without Borders will be giving tours of the Padre Dam on Friday, Nov. 15 from 11 a.m. to noon.
Students will learn about the water treatment plant and the efforts behind providing San Diego with a clean and safe drinking water supply. EWB’s mission is to help provide developing countries with clean water.
“While we work all year long to help provide other, smaller communities in Panama with clean water, we can learn how our own community works to provide us with clean water,” EWB President Kensey Daly said. “Everyone should know where their water comes from and what is inside of it. Water is not as simple as turning the knob on your tap and paying the bill for it later.”
