Project 5: Education and demonstration

What All interesting parts of the system will be equipped with signage to explain them. Together it forms a route to follow during an excursion. Why Water saving measures are not fully being applied on the island because people are not aware of the benefits. Showing people the benefits and how they can achieve it can lead to the realization of more projects. This can help them to save on purchased water. How A route along the Dos Pos water infrastructure can be as following: 1. An entrance sign with the name of Cycle makes clear where visitors have to be. During visiting times the gate will be left open to welcome visitors. Opening days could be for example Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. 2. Vehicles can be parked on the flat area near to the well. At the well there can be information on the solar panel, salinity and availability of well water on Bonaire. 3. At the house it is important to show water saving measures and the composting toilet. An estimation of water savings and how to realise this can be provided. 4. Rainwater harvesting is visible by the gutters, sediment trap, surge tank and pump. Availability and benefits of rainwater harvesting can be explained. 5. Ferro-cement tank, non-potable tank, filters and day tank can be visited further on the hill with an overview of the system. 6. The grey water collection, reed bed filter, storage and nursery can be the final part of the tour. Cost for Dos Pos Realising the tour is estimated on 800 $. Promotional material could be issued. Cycle will be the responsible and representative for the tour and for other educational activities. Cost for typical household Benefit for typical household Acquiring information is a barrier before water recycling can be realized. Informing people and taking away uncertainties lowers the barrier to even look at the possibility for water recycling.
