Description

Gravity Water combines rainwater harvesting, elevated storage, and gravity-fed filtration, providing schools in need with an on-site source of safe drinking water that is self-sustaining, community-based, and 100% electricity-free. Gravity Water's "low technology" approach works through utilizing locally sourced skill sets and basic materials that can be sourced within each community the organization operates.
