About
Communities in volcanic islands of the Pacific face challenges due to unreliable water sources, especially during dry conditions. However, these volcanic islands are blessed with underdeveloped groundwater resource potential, present in the island interiors, which can play a crucial role in overcoming these challenges.
This project aims to enhance water and food security and climate resilience, sustain ecosystem services, and relieve pressure on over-exploited coastal aquifers volcanic states of Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
