Dear Water-L colleagues,

Smart Water Solutions in Small Packages
===========================
Online Version - http://www.adb.org/documents/periodicals/water/2011/issue52-dec11.asp
===========================
ADB's Facility for Pilot and Demonstration Activities (PDAs) was designed to validate new approaches, strategies, methodologies, and technologies for improved water resources management and water services delivery. Launched in 2002, it is the first small-grant facility that provides quick funding to government clients and other development partners for water projects, with the intention of replicating and/or scaling up successful innovative practices. This issue of Water for All news takes stock of the PDA Facility's achievements in the past decade and its small but significant role in the design and implementation of water projects throughout the Asia and Pacific region in the coming years.
