SamSamWater maakt informatie over water en sanitatie beschikbaar en toegankelijk voor iedereen.
Hierom hebben we een database opgezet, die via deze pagina geraadpleegd kan worden. De database bevat allerlei informatie, bijvoorbeeld 'best practices' (bewezen technieken), kaarten, geo-informatie en achtergrondinformatie. De informatie is afkomstig van verschillende bronnen, waaronder onderzoeksinstituten, bedrijven, organisaties en overheidsinstellingen.
