Homeward bound

So I'm leaving for the states in just a few short days. The study I completed is found here: NBoon_report-Ch1.pdf.

Already, based on my recommendations, Dschang's technical service has cleaned and is in the processes of switching out the filter media for their filtered spring capture systems. Even more importantly, they have undertaken the addition of sand filtration chambers to the Valleé spring, by far Dschang's most heavily contaminated drinking water source and also one of the most popular! These improvments have the potential of removing almost 1,000 cases of water borne illness from Dschang's annual water related health burden. I'll call that at least one positive measure of sucess!
