dc.description.abstractThe Tarahumara people face challenges accessing safe potable water. From an understanding of this fundamental need this thesis project was pursued. The first part of this thesis studies the conditions and characteristics of the Tarahumara indigenous communities, developing an understanding of those factors contributing to the water shortages in the area. The second section provides an insight into the Tarahumara world view and analyzes strategies pursued to introduce aid programs to the Tarahumara communities. The third section is a survey of designs and technologies used to manage water. The last section is a design for a water management system, as well as a group of strategies developed to promote the understanding of this system among the Tarahumara communities. Conclusively, the project findings show that the most appropriate way to address the challenges identified is through the use of a multi-stage and modular water management system, including, informative and educational elements.en_US
