The 2002 REU effort in Haiti involved development of a survey tool to study two phenomenon: (i) Willingness of the local population to pay for water and/or well repair and (ii) the relationship among depth to water, latrine design, and vector disease. The survey was developed at Notre Dame by two of the REU students (Pam Crane and Mollie Williams) who then travelled to the Leogane region of Haiti to apply this survey tool.

It is very likely that this effort will continue in northern Haiti where Notre Dame has an ongoing well repair project in the Cap Haitien area.

For those with interest in seeing the initial results of the 2002 surveys, the portion of the 2002 survey effort related to well location and well repair are included on this page. The information is subdivided by Village name. Within each village name, you can view one or more pages of general information (this is usually where the gps coordinates will be found) and one or more pages of information on the condition of the wells (as observed by Pam Crane and Mollie Williams during the summer of 2002).

This work was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through our REU site on water resources in developing countries




In the following documents, I have included only the well information and the cover information page which includes the local responses to the questions asked of the village leader. You can view the full survey (with questions to the village leader asked in the first part of the survey) in either english or creole at the following sites.
