Cubuy, a rural community in Cańovanas, Puerto Rico, lacked sufficient water and power for months following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Working alongside ID Shaliah and the Karma Honey Project, this project was intended to explore various methods of providing a renewable source of water and power for Cubuy during emergencies. Community interaction and focus groups helped gauge the extent of the community’s resources. Interviews with engineers, organization leaders, and consultants provided insight into the best method of ensuring potable water and the specifications of a donated photovoltaic system. The resulting report can be referenced to supplement the further development of drilling a well and supplying sustainable solar energy to support Cubuy with water and power resiliency.
