Choquechampi Agricultural Water Reservoir in Bolivia sponsored by Harbortown Rotary & partners (Duluth Club 25, Duluth Skyline, Superior and Walker Rotary).

Like most high country villages, Choquechampi,

Guatemala, receives 3 months of torrential rains and 9 months of

drought annually; thus the need for

a reservoir

Choquechampi Agricultural Water Reservoir in Bolivia sponsored by Harbortown Rotary & partners (Duluth Club 25, Duluth Skyline, Superior and Walker Rotary).

• The reservoir levee project involved construction of a 120’ high, 330 ‘ deep earthen levee which holds rain water that flows down surrounding mountains into a natural ravine.

• Built on public lands that belong to the community in clay and rock bottom terrain that will prevent water from seeping into the ground below.

• Water is released from the reservoir via a 12” pipe controlled by a valve.

• When full, the reservoir will hold 700,000 cu meters of water

• 4,800 inhabitants will benefit and 1,600 acres can be irrigated.

This project was completed in the fall of 2010

• Every club will set its APF & Permanent Fund goals

• Suggested Annual Programs Fund goals:– 100 % Member Participation – US$100 per capita– 10-15 % Increase

ROTARYFacilitating Goodwill, Peace & Positive Change

in the World One Project at a Time“As Rotarians we must accept responsibility to address the problems faced by our community and other communities around the world. Rotary does not ask us to become heroes or do the impossible. Rotary is made up of ordinary people inclined to give selflessly. By giving a little of our time, a little of our goodwill and a little of our knowledge and expertise, Rotarians can make a difference. It may not be possible for us to wipe away all the tears in the world, but we can surely try.” Ajit Arom DG 3240 India
