10th Annual WAPI Project 2025 Registration
Rotaract at UCSD presents its 10th annual WAPI Project -- our signature annual event! All are welcome to attend! Help us get to our goal of making and testing 800 water pasteurization indicators (WAPIs) to send to resource-poor regions across the world. Don't know how to make a WAPI? No worries -- we have volunteers ready to help you through the process! We hope you're just as excited as we are for this year's WAPI Project. 

Please fill out this form by ASAP as spots are limited.
The deadline to fill out this form is Saturday, January 25nd @ Noon

When:
January 26th (Sunday), 2025
10:00am to 4:00pm - Feel free to arrive and depart anytime throughout the event!

Visitor Parking at Pangea is $2.25/hr (maximum of $9)

What is a WAPI?
WAPIs (Water Pasteurization Indicators) are reusable devices specifically designed to melt a wax coating inside the device when water has reached pasteurization temperature and is safe to drink. In some areas of the world, people collect water from natural sources, which are often ridden with disease-causing bacteria. To prevent getting sick, the water is typically boiled prior to drinking/using. However, water does not need to be boiled in order to be safe to drink, because pasteurization (the act of using heat to kill off the dangerous bacteria) occurs at 150° F, a much lower temperature than water's boiling point (212° F). Therefore, a lot of time and resources, such as fuel and wood, are wasted when water is brought to the boiling point, rather than the pasteurization point. This is where the WAPI comes in. A WAPI contains a special wax that melts at 150° and indicates when the water is safe to drink. Thus, WAPIs help communities lacking easy access to clean, drinkable water save time, money, and energy, by indicating when their water is safe to drink, before it boils!
