Knowledge is like rainwater – it is precious, often scarce, multi-use, easily lost and
evaporated, a source of power, a cause of conflict, offers a promise of improved livelihoods
Just as rivers and water do not flow on their own (without gravity or pressure), so our knowledge is nurtured, guided, pooled, and channeled to reach different people
Just as we promote multiple use water systems and services, so our information, knowledge sharing, and communication tools and approaches are for multiple use, and re-use
Just as we encourage each community to improve the availability, distribution and use of rainwater through improved storage, harvesting and conservation, so our information, knowledge, and communication strategies draw on the perspectives, experiences and knowledge accumulated and made available by different communities
Just as we catalyze platforms for people to meet, innovate and find shared rainwater management solutions, so our information, knowledge sharing, and communication activities facilitate interaction, dialogue, conversation and linkages among different people and organizations
