The Midwest Schools

There were only three chapters in the upper Midwest area that I could find, and only one had info that looked like it would be useful.

First:
http://www.ewb-uiuc.org/node/541
This has a huge PDF with tons of information. Most was related to digging wells/drilling, which doesn't seem to be a problem, but starting on page 21 was some information on pumps.

Second:
http://www.ewb-uiuc.org/enugu/resources/gadgil
This document has into about water safety. I know water supply is the current goal, but when we get to sanitation this may be useful.

Third:
https://udrive.oit.umass.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-3396751_1-t_S9uHOupU
This is actually from a course I'm taking at Hampshire, so it isn't from an EWB website, but I think it may be helpful with the pump project. It has information about pedal-powered pumps, starting around page 12.
