EWB QLD Presents - WASH Webinar

Ever wondered what designing a toilet in a cyclone-prone village in Vanuatu has in common with engineering in flood-prone communities in Cambodia? Or how your engineering brain could help communities tackle one of the world’s crappiest problems (literally)?

Join the Engineers Without Borders QLD Chapter for a webinar on Wednesday 4 June at 7pm to dive into the real engineering challenges (and solutions!) behind Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects in Vanuatu and Cambodia.

Hear from two of EWB Australia’s experts, Chanrika Keo (Cambodia) and Leigh van der Merwe (Vanuatu), as they unpack how we design and adapt toilet and sanitation systems for extreme environments – from high ground water tables to monsoon seasons – all in pursuit of SDG #6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All.

Learn how EWB works:

• With local communities (not just for them)

• In complex environments where off-the-shelf solutions just don’t cut it

• Across everything from design and construction to education and policy

Whether you are a student keen to get involved or a curious engineer wanting to understand what "Sanitation in Challenging Environments" really looks like, this one’s for you.
