The output of the Design Tool now includes a list of several variables comprising the Materials Listdedicated section in the Design Specifications document, listing important variables from the Entrance Tank, Floc Tank, and Sed Tank. Engineers designing plants will now be able see how much material is needed to construct the components of the plant, including the walls of the various tanks and channels, lengths and sizes of PVC pipe, corrugated plastic sheets for the lamella, and ferrous cement for the floc baffles. The Materials List is conveniently located at the bottom of the Design Values excel spreadsheet that is returned to the user with all the outputs for the plantand valves and adapters. This will allow them to have a better of idea of what is needed to construct an AguaClara plant. The Materials List will continue to be updated based on feedback from the engineers in Honduras so that it provides information that is most useful to them in the construction process. Since the values are specific to the plant being designed, it serves as a personalized yet universal link between the AguaClara team, the Automated Design Tool, and the creators of the plant.
