One of the most influential points of the project was the interview with David Stott, a sanitary health, environmental health and water engineer who has worked for UNICEF, Save the Children and Wateraid in 13 different countries over a period of 20 years.
His visits were:
- Somalia 1981
- Ethiopia 1984/85
- Ladakh 1987
- Khartoum The Sudan 1988
- Kenya 1993
- Kenya 1994
- Rumania 1994
- Zaire 1995
- Tanzania 1995
- Tanzania 1996
- Tanzania 1996
- Montserrat 1997
- Mozambique 2001
His insight into refugee camps in a variety of different countries has informed many design decisions throughout the project. The wastewater trenches, water distribution system, and insulation concept are just a few of the aspects informed by the many pieces of literature and manuals owned by David and studied alongside this interview.
Interview Notes -
Trench latrines were constructed using a trench and then timber poles on the top of it gathered from the trees around. Two footprints with a hole stainless steel Piles of sand and lime to cover
Pumnping equiptment, water tanks, pipes were the main supply drops
Places extablished in Nirobi the capital of kenya where the mostly main offices are located such as unicef. Stockpile equiptment in these locations.
The money spent should be given through NGO (non government organisation) due to corrupt governments.
Local labour, local expertise, local materials that then may take longer to do things but is then more helpful to help train people arfter the aid has left.
You build a soak away at the lowest level out of the camp to keep disease form spreading.
Hand dug wells with timber support and the pumps would fill water tanks next to the wells.
The water would then need to be treated, this would be done using Allum which would settle the water. It would then be pumped to another tank with chlorine tablets which would kill all of the bacteria.
Water would be distributed through the camp through pipes. The water would then be tested at the taps for chlorine levels.
