I’ve been working on a project in Southeast Asia, and it’s fascinating how local customs influence water usage; adapting technology to fit these cultural contexts is crucial for success. I’m interested in hearing about others’ experiences in similar environments — what strategies have you found effective when bridging the gap between modern techniques and traditional practices?
I totally get that need to adapt. In my work in Brazil, we found that involving local leaders in planning really helped bridge the gap between modern methods and traditional practices. It creates buy-in and respect for the local customs.
In my project in Kenya, we used simple rainwater harvesting systems to align with local practices. It really resonated with the community. How have you found local tech acceptance?
