Explanation
SamSamWater makes information on water and sanitation easy to find and accessible for all. This page contains a database with practical information, data and (GIS)maps.
We believe information should be shared to make water and sanitation projects more successful. The information in the database is gathered from numerous sources, such as research institutes, companies, NGOs and government organisations.
Do you have information we can integrate into this database, or if you have comments or questions, please contact us!

The ICS publishes a representation of the geologic timescale as a coloured stratigraphic chart, showing the order and names of the elements of the time scale, and the dates of the boundaries as fixed through GSSP where available.
