Public Water Fountain
El Salvador
A design for a public source of drinking water for an affordable development in El Salvador provided some definition of infrastructure to the project done in the fall of 2002. This project brought the reality of conditions in low- income areas of developing countries and improved the delivery capabilities for basic services. The fountain is intended for domestic water collection, public laundry facility and a community gathering space.
