RWH Decision Support Tool


In 2010, RAIN developed an online RWH decision support tool in a Wiki environment. The goal of this project was to develop a planning and decision tool to guide implementation, upscaling and integration of RWH into water management programmes. It consists of 14 steps, which will guide the user through the different aspects concerning water harvesting.

The tool links to a library containing additional information about specific aspects of water harvesting, such as water quality issues, but also provides information on good practices in water harvesting. More information can be found in the final report.

Description & results

The tool has not been published online mainly due to the fact that it was seen as too complex (14 steps) and therefore not user-friendly. RAIN now aims to repackage the current tool into a more user-friendly tool. This tool is coming soon.
