PAS-WATER
PAS-WATER is a comprehensive diagnosis and analysis framework aiming to facilitate an improved water harvesting system at basin or sub-basin scale. This is based on payments to relevant actors for the implementation of specific land-use measures.
PAS-WATER is a flexible toolkit and consultancy service. It works on different spatial scales and develops iterative diagnosis cycles to provide information and evidence to build consensus among stakeholders and public administration for the adoption of a scheme of payments for adaptation services based on water harvesting.
Technology demonstrated in relevant environment.
Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond that of TRL 5, is tested in a relevant environment. Represents a major step up in a technology’s demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a high-fidelity laboratory environment or in a simulated operational environment.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
How does it work?
PAS-WATER is run through three iterative steps under the aim of achieving a consolidated PAS scheme. In each step a series of intertwined activities are developed concerning the three main defined approaches: Water Accounting and Auditing; Funding and Payments Schemes; and Multi-Stakeholder Platform. PAS-WATER builds on these ideas by combining multiple scales and successive interactions to get solid agreements on water accounting, economic valuation of provided services, models and schemes for distribution of payments, funding mechanisms and responsibilities for the implementation.
