4. Is free sustainable?
mWater is revenue-based - paid for by large
organizations who need data services
Free is more sustainable… why?
•No cycles of dependency on expensive or
complex software
•Some free users will become investors,
continually improving the platform
•Monitoring can continue after the project or
donor support ends
