Our Mission:Water Station is a broadly based organization whose purpose is to prevent the heat death of any persons in the El Centro Desert. We have no political affiliation and volunteers come from many different locations and occupations.
Motivation: Water Station was created to stop the large number of heat deaths in The El Centro Desert. The heat kills more than 20 immigrants and Americans every year in the region between Jacumba and Yuma. With temperatures as high as 120 degrees fluids, shade and light clothing are critical for survival.
Status: Water Station installs more than 340 simple Water Stations. The maintenance of which requires four full time employees working (40 hours per week), and numerous volunteers on the weekends.
Operation: In the late Spring we install all the stations. Stations consist of a 55 gallon plastic drum which we weight with rocks and then add 7 individual gallons of water. A 10 to 30 foot tall blue flag marks the location.
Stations are maintained through the Spring and Summer by teams. Every week each Water Station is inspected, torn flags are replaced, and water is replenished. Later in the Fall when the desert cools off, the water stations are removed.
