[[Image:Water Portal.png|right|100px]][[Image:akvopedia logo.png|right|100px|link=http://akvopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page]]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 , complete with lots of inspiration for those who are trying to improve access to clean waterreference manuals and links.
