The Akvopedia is an online encyclopedia specifically designed to meet the needs of the water and sanitation community. It is, like Wikipedia, a special type of collaborative website called a wiki. It follows the same conventions and processes as all wikis.

General information on editing wiki content and an editing cheat sheet can be found on Wikipedia's own help pages.

For information specific to adding articles to the Akvopedia, see How to build an Akvopedia page.
