The FSM toolbox is a web platform with a suite of tools and resources designed to assist and guide anyone interested in undertaking assessments and planning infrastructure improvements. The toolbox, first conceived and implemented by the Asian Institute of Technology with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has evolved over the years with valuable contribution, inputs and feedback from various organizations. Some experiences about planted drying beds are included.

The Compendium of NaWaTech Technologies presents a list of solutions (appropriate water and wastewater technologies) to treat and recover water suitable to be used in urbanised areas in India. It was created with the contribution of several experts in the sector and it is intended as a reference for water professionals in charge of planning, designing, and implementing sustainable water systems in the Indian urban scenario, based on a decentralised approach. It includes design principles, operation and maintenance requirements and cost considerations.
