1. WaterCompass Workshop Kenya 3 November 2014 Gábor Szántó and Alida Pelgrim-Adams www.watercompass.info

2. Introduction PRACTICA Foundation DRINKING WATER IRRIGATION DRILLING AND WELLS RENEWABLE ENERGY ENERGY EFFICIENCY SANITATION INNOVATION LOCAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANCY & ADVICE

3. Introduction to the WaterCompass  Origin and objective  The decision-support  Profile  Intended users

4. Rationale for the WaterCompass  Problem:  Low sustainability of implemented technologies  Tool:  An interdisciplinary support tool for a broader and more objective (rational) technology selection process  Goal:  More sustainable water methods in practice

5. Introduction to the WaterCompass

6. The WaterCompass profile  Fast and reliable computer-aided human decision-making  Tool: decision-support, not -making  Computerized pre-screening of technologies  Final selection by user  Transparent & easy selection  Multidisciplinary knowledge on technologies  Reliable source of technological applicability Water | Energy Needs Assessments | Low-cost Product Design | Technical Training Supply Chain Design | Quality Control | Field Follow-up | Evaluation

7. Potential users and intended uses  Decision-makers in the water sector  Allow identification of method group fitting a certain criterion  Allow identification of a method group fitting a defined project or area  Project engineers and other stakeholders  Enable efficient multistakeholder processes by providing a common platform for discussion  Water management sutdents  Educate on method characteristics and applicability

11. The information modules

12. FIETS Sustainability principles Financial Sustainability - Delivery of products and services related to water, sanitation and hygiene is assured, because the activities are locally financed (e.g. taxes, local fees, local financing) and do not depend on external (foreign) subsidies. Institutional sustainability - Institutions, policies and procedures at the local level are functional and meet the demand of users of WASH services. Role of actors are clear and their functioning effective. Multi-stakeholder approach. Environmental sustainability - WASH interventions are viewed in the wider context of the natural environment and implementing an approach of integrated and sustainable management of water and waste(-water) flows and resources. Technical sustainability - when the technology or hardware for the services is maintained, repaired and replaced by local people and it is not depleting the (natural) resources on which it depends for it’s functioning. Social sustainability - appropriate social conditions & prerequisites are realized and sustained so current and future society is able to create livable communities. Demand-driven, inclusive, gender equal, culturally sensitive and needs-based.

14. Content and structuring End of presentation - Thank you for your attention; any questions?

15. The decision-support protocol

16.  Applicable technology: green, as the screening options make it an eligible technology.  Applicable technology but with restrictions: yellow, option may be suitable, but the chosen screening options indicate a limited applicability.  Not-applicable technology: red, as one or more of the screening options eliminate its use in the planned scenario.  Not relevant technology: white, any method where the no active screening applies.
