Our Group Meeting this past Wednesday

This past Wednesday (yesterday) we had group meetings in class. This was a good start to uniting teams together to generate ideas. Honestly, I didn't think that there was that must to discuss at first, but it seemed to go by too quickly. April (our 002 service team leader) is da girl! She went out IN THE RAIN to take pictures of the problem of the clogged culverts in action. Although, she said that the rain was absorbed because of the fact that we haven't had much rain lately. That makes our project seem ironic for a moment doesn't it? But from the pictures she showed us, we could also see that the galvanized steel drainage pipes were bent. This is not going to be easy to fix, but our class' support team said that they would hunt down a tool to fix that. This issue also came up about how we are going to get all of the debris out of the drainage pipes, and using a pressure washer seems like a great idea, but from some of the research that our teams have done, I don't think that this is very good for the surrounding environment due to water contamination that the debris would cause.

I'm concerned about possible water contamination, too. Perhaps there are some simple solutions we haven't discovered yet. . .
