700 million people worldwide could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030.
To ‘leave no one behind’, we must focus our efforts towards including people who have been marginalized or ignored.

#WorldWaterDay 2019 theme is WATER FOR ALL. @siwsap works with some of #SolomonIslands most vulnerable communities to ensure climate resilience in the water sector through diversifying water sources, increasing storage capacities and solid water management practices.
Why are people being left behind without safe water and what can be done to reach them?

"My 8-year old will experience a far more profound manifestation of #climatechange than I will. That really frightens me-are we preparing our children for a future we ourselves find difficult to imagine?" @UNDP's @PradeepK333 on the realities but also hope for #climateaction
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water". W.H Auden. #SolomonIslandsGovernment and development partners showing Pacific neighbors adaptation projects in the water sector. Thanks for the shout out @ginakekea. A very belated Happy 2019 from the SIWSAP team!

#resilient Taro thanks to multiple options for #water. High cases of related diseases, disruption of public and medical services, high costs of transport for fetching water from mainland - they r long gone. Taro hosted many events, but never ran out of water!

Proud moment in Taro with water committee members and Choiseul government leaders. An integrated solution to #water shortages requires all members of the society to contribute. This story from Choiseul must be shared with others in #solomonislands. @siwsap #climatechange
Handover of an alternate water source for Taro in Choiseul Province. The TRUNZ Brackish Water Filtration Unit pumps out 650 litres of potable water per hour from a nearby well = 15,000 litres of clean, drinking water per day. #WaterIsLife #SolomonIslands
One of @siwsap brilliant minds is leaving. Tema Wickham is leaving to study for an MSc degree in Water Management and Governance @ihedelft in the Netherlands. Congratulations Tema! Leana hola and all the best in your studies! #SolomonIslands #WaterIsLife
In replica sites, @siwsap works with communities to build resilience in the water sector starting with the Solomon Islands Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (SIIVA). The SIIVA Team talked with people in Poroporo and Vonunu to record livelihood vulnerabilities. #SolomonIslands
High turnouts to the Solomon Islands Integrated Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment (SIIVA) workshops in Poroporo, Choiseul Province. SIIVA was successfully completed with over 50 men, women and young people over two days of workshops. Learn more: solomonislandsiva.com
Taking the first steps in designing actionable early warning information that can save lives. SIWSAP, #SolomonIslands Met Services (SIMS), Water Resources Division and @niwa_nz discuss possible information products using CliDEsc - a new climate-product software.
Climate change impacts are often first felt through water. Talking to interested community representatives about @siwsap EOI for Replica Sites in #SolomonIslands today. Water is life! 🇸🇧🌊🥤🚿🚰💧💦
