* '''NEW RWH TOOLS: [[Rainwater Harvesting GIS Map | Make a personalized GIS rainwater harvesting map]]''' - We have teamed up with [http://www.rainfoundation.org/ RAIN] to create three new rainwater harvesting (RWH) tools in Akvopedia. One of these is called the [[Rainwater Harvesting GIS Map]]. You can follow three steps to create a RWH map to see optimal places of rainwater collection in your area. The other tools, [[Rain is Gain Tool]] and [[WASH Environmental Sustainability Assessment]], help you to both assess your water needs/supply and make sure your WASH project is environmentally sustainable, respectively.

* '''NEW Malayalam Page: [[മഴവെള്ള സംഭരണം|<font size="2">മഴവെള്ള സംഭരണം</font>]]''' - We now have a new Indian language translator! He will be helping us in the Water Portal to translate pages into Malayalam, Hindi, and Tamil. We hope this will enable our Indian users to gain much water and sanitation knowledge and find valuable help and resources for their projects. We have started with a translation for our [[Rainwater Harvesting]] page with the alternative language links at the bottom of the page. More to come!
