'''Appropedia''' is the site for collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction and international development through the use of sound principles and appropriate technology and the sharing of wisdom and project information. It is a wiki, a type of website which allows anyone to add, remove, or edit content. Registration is encouraged but not required for contributors.

Appropedia has been described as an "appropriate technology wiki," but it is much broader than that - it is a green wiki, and a wiki for all matters of international development and aid. But most importantly, Appropedia is an open site for stakeholders to come together to find, create and improve scalable and adaptable solutions. For more about our motivation, see Appropedia:Mission.

Appropedia began in April of 2006. In the earliest stages it was a collaboration between passionate people from the United States and Australia, and quickly expanded to become a global project.

'''Shelter Publications’ World Headquarters'''

We have been publishing high-quality soft cover books for almost 40 years. We operate out of a studio set in a garden in the small Northern California coastal town of Bolinas. We create each book from scratch, often starting with only an author's idea, and do all aspects of book production in-house – editing, design, typesetting, scanning, graphics enhancement, and color corrections. We seem to spend an impossible amount of time with each one, managing only one or at most two books a year.This wasn't a planned strategy, but it seems to have worked: our books have a very long shelf life.

We publish books we believe in. They grow naturally out of our interests, and we do all we can to get the final product out to people in as fine a form as we can, at as low a price as possible. we have never done a cost analysis of a book to determine whether it's publishable or not. We just know that when we're excited about something, we want to tell everyone else about it, and we turn it into a book. Our books are then distributed in bookstores by Publishers Group West (800 788-3123).

TOOLS-
A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or achieve a task, but that is not consumed in the process. Informally the word is also used to describe a procedure or process with a specific purpose. Tools that are used in particular fields or activities may have different designations such as Instrument, Utensil, Implement, Machine, or Apparatus. (source: Wikipedia)

'''Matters of tool and equipment construction, maintenance and operation are the underlying skill base for all the other category skills. A colony with a one way ticket will strongly need to either have the right tool for the job, the ability to fabricate that tool, or some good adaptability to make do with the tools they have.

'''Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O.'''
[[File:StyleeLogoOceanSmall.png|left|frame<span title=""></span>]]

WATER-
Its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces. Water covers 70.9% of the Earth's surface, and is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation. Oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Water on Earth moves continually through a cycle of evaporation or transpiration (evapotranspiration), precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Over land, evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land. Clean drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved steadily and substantially over the last decades in almost every part of the world. There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A recent report (November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.[10] Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of fresh water is consumed by agriculture. (source: Wikipedia)

'''For any RorC, water is such a basic and fundamental need; it cannot be overstated in importance. Water is not only a necessity of life; it can be a storage and generation source for power. From small hydroelectric dam power to large scale tidal buoy based generators, water is a key force to be understood and managed.'''
