Having developed a more informed understanding of the water situation in Malawi, the #GlobalProblemSolvers take an inventory of their skills and experience: What can they each contribute to developing an innovative solution? Pooling their talents, the Global Problem Solvers invent a network of sensors to determine when each well requires maintenance and start implementing their strategy in a small-scale test. But not everything works as anticipated.
