Water of Ayole video for EM.411

Stopped at 5:10

What is the system being discussed?

To provide drinking water by transporting river water by using women holding buckets

Who are the stakeholders and what are their needs?

All water drinkers need safe water

The women who have to carry need a more stable way to transport water

Children who are most susceptible have a more dire need for safe water

What is the system supposed to do?

Sustain the village

While watching

Technology has not solved the problem

better to improve the analog system first before adding more components

At end

What is the system being discussed?

To sustainably provide drinking water by accessing underground water using a pump and a maintenance infrastructure

Who are the stakeholders and what are their needs?

All water drinkers need safe water

The women who have to carry need a more stable way to transport water

(new) The men who are responsible for maintaining the pump

Children who are most susceptible have a more dire need for safe water

(new) The institutions that install the pump need to reduce maintenance cost

the new ones essentially incorporate more of the social dynamics of the system (and pull in more of the surrounding systems)

What is the system supposed to do?

Sustain the village

Socio technical dynamics compared to my own experiences?

Internalizing maintenance cost into the system is often something that’s foregone in software since the cost to create can be so low
