  • Community Water Systems: Designing and implementing shared water collection, purification, and distribution systems (e.g., communal wells, large-scale rainwater harvesting, filtration plants).
• Off-Grid Energy & Communications for a Collective:
  • Scalable Power Solutions: Planning and deploying larger-capacity solar, wind, or hydro systems suitable for powering multiple dwellings or a central hub.
