Assessment of climate change on drainage networks and infrastructure in Fiji, Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) Project

Abstract

Assessment of climate change on drainage networks and Infrastructure in FijiAssessment of climate change on drainage networks and Infrastructure in Fiji Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change Prof. P Nunn Purpose • Develop baseline information necessary to support a risk-based approach to climate change adaptation in the project demonstration sites. • Assess how climate change and sea-level rise will impact agricultural drainage schemes in the Rewa and Navua deltas. • Provide a sound, objective and evidence-based framework for developing climate change adaptation strategies for development of drainage guidelines and demonstration of adaptation interventions. • Demonstrate an approach that is scalable and can be transferred and applied to other areas in Fiji. Project Components • Climate change • Extreme rainfall • Sea level rise and extreme water levels • Field topography and bathymetry data collection • Hydraulic (drainage) and hydrological (river) modelling • Soci
