Water Resources in Rwanda

In January 2007 and January 2008, MARS's own Kelly Doyle traveled to rural Rwanda for her thesis work concerning the impact of the “first flush” on rainwater harvesting tanks.

A video was made about the water situation in the village and their progress in installing rainwater harvesting tanks for the health clinic. Watch for a cameo of Kelly. Click Here for Video...

MARS Raingarden

This summer, the MARS team came together to design and install a raingarden for their building in Cottage Grove.

The raingarden will redirect stormwater runoff from the rooftop to a depression planted with native vegetation. That way, the water can soak into the ground.
