A RURAL TALE

CULTURAL AND ETHICAL ALIGNMENT
The Experts' assessment of the counterpart between the villagers values and the values of the experts seems to have not been thoroughly investigated which has led to the incorrect alignment.
SOLUTION: The experts should research more about the cultural beliefs of the villagers and get to know why the women prefer to walk a long distance for water rather than use the new system.

FAILURE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM AND TRACK REQUIREMENTS
The Experts did not investigate as much as needed or consulted with the elders of the village to convince them about the fairly-low solution they were planning on bringing to their village to ease the women's burden,they simply concluded for themselves that it was needed without consulting with the villagers thoroughly.
SOLUTION:The experts should identify the unique villager's requirements, before they become "fatal flaws" and to also try to balance the implementation of the new low-tech solution with the new low-tech solution to integrate legacy systems.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NEW SOLUTION
If the villagers were improperly prepared for the new low-tech solution then the likelihood of them making the decision of ignoring the new technology is increased due to the villagers' lack of knowledge about it. Lack of training is a mistake that was done by the experts.
SOLUTION: The villagers should be educated about the new solution so as to draw them into tolerating the new system because it will result in the villager's time saved as they will be reduicng th long time of having to travel far for water.
