The water portal illustrates a selection of smart water technologies. We are working on making this portal comprehensive and contain full explanations on how to implement these technologies. In the meantime we hope the site can be a source of inspiration for those who are trying to improve access to clean water.

== Sanitation system ==
The techiques described in this section, according to the elements above make up entire sanitation systems. The following is an example of this. reading the icons from the left to the right we have a [[Dry urine diversion toilet]] connecting to [[Oil drums and containers]] system, where the feces are taken away via a [[Cartage system]] to be broken down via [[Co-composting]] and then finally be used through [[Compost as soil conditioner]] and the [[Human urine as fertiliser]].
