How do we provide adequate design review

• At what point does it make sense to start the project in another country?
• How automated should the design process be and how automated can it be? Should we be planning for Honduran engineers to be able to download a complete set of plans for the internet, or should we just be giving them drawings of the tanks and pipes and let them do the final drawings? On the designs we're working on we have found that the slope and shape of the contruction site affect the desired design a lot. Perhaps we should leave more work and flexibility to the in-country engineers.

How do we provide sufficient review of our designs to ensure that they are ready to be built prior to delivering them to partner organizations?

How do we make sure that as we grow that AguaClara continues to be a "win, win, win, win" for students, Cornell University, partners in the Global South, and communities who drink the water?
