Welcome to Akvopedia, the open water and sanitation resource that [[How to contribute|anyone can edit]]. The goal of Akvopedia is to improve water and sanitation projects through knowledge exchange on smart and affordable technical solutions and effective approaches. At this moment, the Sanitation portal is well developed, the Water portal needs work, and the Approaches portal is just starting up. Akvopedia now contains [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles in English.
