Water scarcity, pollution and extreme weather events driven by climate change, population growth and industrial demand are pushing global water systems to critical levels.
This will be done through the construction of a 4,000 m3 desalination plant and a photovoltaic system to provide low-emission power for the plant and the water supply network.
Emerging economies incur a disproportionate impact on food-water systems yet are proving innovation can turn constraints into catalysts to meet demands.
Protecting the global water cycle can help us achieve many of the SDGs. Here''s how public-partnerships can unlock innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
Commissioning of the McKenzie plant is ongoing, and the plant is expected to commence delivering water to the residents of South Tarawa before the end of Q4 2024.
The project aims to reduce the climate vulnerability of the entire population of South Tarawa through increased water security by providing them with a reliable, safe, and climate
The project will achieve this through major water infrastructure upgrades, including a desalination plant, water supply network improvement and installation of a solar photovoltaic system.
The world is facing a water crisis – it''s estimated that by 2030 global demand for water will exceed sustainable supply by 40%. Water is a highly complex and fragmented area.
This will be done through the construction of a 4,000 m3 desalination plant and a photovoltaic system to provide low-emission
Water is the hidden link between power and performance in data centres. AI is transforming industries and promises extraordinary progress, but it cannot thrive without water.
In Kiribati, water sources are predominantly groundwater from brackish groundwater lenses, rainwater collection, and desalinated sea water from reverse osmosis plants (SPC, 2007).
