摘要

This paper describes the humanitarian effort to help bring clean water and solar power to people in need along the Amazon River in Nauta, Peru. George Fox University partnered with JungleMaster Ministries to create a long-term development plan, beginning with a full prototype of the system at the NGO's house in Nauta. The engineering design, installation, and test of the system are discussed in detail, along with a unique data acquisition system that was successfully employed and is currently recording data and sending it back to the USA for daily monitoring.
