Project Goal: Design a sustainable fish pond in San Carlos, Arizona.

Officials in San Carlos, Arizona, are planning a sustainable fish pond to provide a community recreational area as well as help educate youth and connect them to their culture. This project assesses the design and installment plans.

The location rests on an accessible water well that has a high arsenic concentration. The team considered mass transfer balance, water and soil quality, livestock, cost and life cycle, among other factors.

The project applied fluid flow, evaporation, process design, and process control to determine the success of the pond based on the level of human intervention, livestock and use of the resource.
