MIT IDEAS 09  Competition Winners

Excerpt from MIT news:

“Among the other winners was team called Aquaport, which created an ingenious modular water-transportation system to save the time and effort of carrying jugs of water, usually balanced on women’s heads, home from central wells. The system consists of molded disk-shaped tanks that snap together to form a larger drum shape, which then is fitted with an axle and a handle allowing it to be rolled along the ground instead of being lifted and carried. The system, costing less than $40, will be tested this summer in rural Ghana.”
