Case study

Data to plan rainwater harvesting

Challenge

Farming families needed to size rainwater-harvesting solutions in the face of climate variability.

What we did

We built Cosecha H2O, a tool that uses climate data to support planning of water-harvesting systems.

Outcome

Better-informed water investment decisions.

Technology

  • Rainfall data
  • Web tool

DAP's role. DAP designed and built the tool.
