Republic of Nauru KRA 2 (Water) mission report 27th October - 05th November 2006 : Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States

Abstract

Held exploratory discussions regarding RS/GIS/GPS surveys and training by the Project to provide a database of all properties and associated roof catchments to accurately identify the condition of rainwater harvesting infrastructure assets such as roofing materials, guttering, down-pipes and storage tanks. An asset condition survey of this nature would allow production of engineering specifications and associated bill of quantities to identify the infrastructure refurbishment and replacement opportunities under the EU B-Envelope funding. Subsequent provision and installation of sufficient domestic & community rainwater storage facilities will contribute directly to reducing Nauru's population vulnerability to drought risks.
