Water & Energy

Includes: Water & Energy

The Water & Energy team arranges the camp’s electricity system for the build and event, emphasizing a transition to sustainable sources. They manage generators, fuel supply, prioritize energy for common structures, and coordinate with the power grid. The team also oversees water-related tasks, enforces usage restrictions, and ensures sufficient funds for water and grey water services in cash.

Detailed description for camp members

The team is responsible for arranging and setting up a system that will provide the camp with sufficient electricity during build and the event. The camp wants to move towards a more sustainable energy system, i.e. use solar power and the team should explore and take steps in that direction. The team is responsible for maintaining the generators and making sure the camp has sufficient fuel to run them.

The team should prioritize energy to the camp’s common structures, but also set up at least one charging station for mobiles and small electronics. Electricity should also be provided to the shade structure to enable members to inflate matrasses. The team should arrange with the power grid for the camp and make sure cords and connectors are safe and inform members of how to operate and use the energy grid at the camp.

The Energy team is NOT responsible for common lights (only providing energy to them), but should advise teams when it comes to selection of light systems in order to minimize energy consumption (LED).

The team is also responsible for getting fresh water to the camp and setting up a system for disposal of grey water. This includes water delivery during the build week. The Water team should inform all members of the restrictions of water usage and follow up on this matter during the event. The Water team should arrange with storage and disposal of grey water and minimize the need for evaporation solutions. Since both water and grey water disposal is paid for in cash, it is imperative that the team brings enough money to pay for these services.
