However, climate change and tourism are altering the region’s water availability. Our sponsor, CORCLIMA, is dedicated to conserving water and reducing carbon emissions by using innovative technologies. The goal of this project was to aid CORCLIMA’s water conservation efforts in Monteverde by determining the best design options for composting toilets and creating informational materials for use within the community. We surveyed community perceptions on composting toilets and visited various models installed throughout the region. With our findings and deliverables, CORCLIMA will be able to start a conversation about water scarcity and the benefits of composting toilets."; "Worcester Polytechnic Institute"; "Climatic changes--Social aspects", "Water resources development", "Parks--Management"; "Sustainability", "Environment", "Water"; "2019-02-27"; "2019"; "2019-11-21T17:29:12.920099487+00:00"^^; "E-project-022719-140205"; ; "2020-12-03T14:03:19.487765455-05:00"^^; "Interactive Qualifying Project"; "Monteverde, Costa Rica Project Center - IQP"; ; ; "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"; ; ; "This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement.
