Abstract— The water scarcity problem is critical in rural schools in northern Argentina, where geographical challenges, limited financial resources and alternative water sources contribute to the lack of water access. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals #4 and #6 encompass the problem stated in this paper, and it is a central problem to the 2030 Agenda. Once the drivers of the problem are understood two options will be presented to obtain clean water: Fresh Water Ecco System and the P&G Purifier Packets. Finally, pros and cons of each innovation will be discussed. It is expected that this work might provide insight into this topic that needs urgent attention, and also raise awareness about deficiencies that there exist in some parts of Argentina, and how these affect the education and social development of the inhabitants.
