johnnyfiber,

In your prior post about the NYU and El Salvador project, I think a few became confused, but you are spot on.
Important tidbits:

1. The date of the website link you provided was "September 30, 2009"

El Salvador Project
September 30th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
Project El Salvador
EWB NYU:Poly is planning a continuing Project in the town of Perquin, El Salvador.

2. On the above website, there was another nice link.

"Welcome to the El Salvador Project Website
A team of engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of NYU are working together with PEOF and the Peace Corps to bring sustainable development to marginalized areas in El Salvador. The current and first project is sanitation through waste water treatment and education in the Perquin area of the south eastern zone of Morazan."

Notice on http://www.arielchait.com/Site/The_Project.html there is a diagram of this "wetland." Interesting to note that the incoming sewage is labled, "Pretreated Wastewater." See below picture.


3. Finally, the original specifications for this "wetland" was originally patterned after Ronald Brenneman's Hotel:

The following link shows a very nice brochure of the Amun Shea center being built.

Ronald Brenneman, El Salvador
Representative in El Salvador for the PEOF
Ronald is the owner and operator of the Hotel Perkin Lenca in Perquin, Morazan. Ronald built the waste water management system at the hotel, which serves as

a model for that to be implemented at the Amun Shea center, along with the erosion and surface water controls to be used.

Conclusion: The original plans appear to have been altered to include the NYU Poly water technology. Perhaps due to the perc or watershed, the "wetland" idea was still used.

BTW, nice find.
