The Autodesk team explored water purification methods during the fall 2013 semester. However, during a site visit to San Francisco, it was found that sanitation and the prevention of recontamination would be an area of focus that would generate more impact. The team developed a set of design alternatives utilizing Autodesk software, and settled on a design that focused on prevention of recontamination of water stored in jerry cans.
