Water Resources Management in Tuvalu with Special Emphasis on Rainwater Harvesting By Filipo.Taulima Frequently, presenters must deliver material of a technical nature to an audience unfamiliar with the topic or vocabulary. The material may be complex or heavy with detail. To present technical material effectively, use the following guidelines from Dale Carnegie Training®.   Consider the amount of time available and prepare to organize your material. Narrow your topic. Divide your presentation into clear segments. Follow a logical progression. Maintain your focus throughout. Close the presentation with a summary, repetition of the key steps, or a logical conclusion. Keep your audience in mind at all times. For example, be sure data is clear and information is relevant. Keep the level of detail and vocabulary appropriate for the audience. Use visuals to support key points or steps. Keep alert to the needs of your listeners, and you will have a more receptive audience. Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018 Copyright 1996-98 © Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc.

INTRODUCTION WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT BOTH DETERMINE QUANTITY QUALITYAND AVAILABILTY OF WATER IS PREDOMINANTLY THE PRE-REQUISITE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT RAINWATER IS THE ONLY RELIABLE CHEAP AND POTABLE WATER IN MOST ISLANDS IN TUVALU NATIONAL PRIORITY-DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND TEN YEAR WATER PLAN If you have several points, steps, or key ideas use multiple slides. Determine if your audience is to understand a new idea, learn a process, or receive greater depth to a familiar concept. Back up each point with adequate explanation. As appropriate, supplement your presentation with technical support data in hard copy or on disc, e-mail, or the Internet. Develop each point adequately to communicate with your audience.

COUNTRY PROFILE Land area-26 sq.kms No of islands: 9 low lying coral atolls Population- approximately over 10,000 people Climate- pleasantly tropical, if monotonous; no dry, wet or hot and cold seasons In your opening, establish the relevancy of the topic to the audience. Give a brief preview of the presentation and establish value for the listeners. Take into account your audience’s interest and expertise in the topic when choosing your vocabulary, examples, and illustrations. Focus on the importance of the topic to your audience, and you will have more attentive listeners. Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

BACKGROUND INFORMATION THREE MAIN SOURCES OF WATER: RAINWATER (main source) WELL OR GROUNDWATER (supplementary) DESALINATION WATER (emergency use only on 3 islands) Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

RAINWATER HARVESTING THREE TYPES: Individual household systems Communal systems (large buildings) Government houses: both private and communal Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

OTHER WATER SOURCES DESALINATION WATER (emergency) GROUND WATER (supplementary) Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS INSPECTION OF WATER CATCHMENT TANKS/CISTERNS AND WELLS INSPECTION OF DRINKING WATER FOR RESTAURANTS, HOTELS AND OTHER PRIVATE BUSINESSES. TO IMPLEMENT WATER QUALITY TESTING PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION OF WATER TO INDIVIDUALS. Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

TEN YEAR WATER PLAN TO PROVIDE POTABLE, SAFE DRINKING WATER FOR INTENDED USES- WHETHER IT IS FOR DOMESTICS USE AGRICULTURE,COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY-BY THE YEAR 2002 CONTROL METHODS OF DISPOSAL FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF WATSES Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

VISION, ISSUES and CONSTRAINTS VISION - WATER RESOURCES SHOULD BE ADEQUATE AND SUSTAINABLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS ISSUES - INCREASE IN POPULATION, INSUFFICIENT CATCHMENTS & STORAGE CONSTRAINTS- FINANCIAL RESOURCES, TECHNICAL STAFF, GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES. REQUIREMENT: HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT APPROACH Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

NATIONAL CONSULTATION PROCESS WATER AUTHORITY-PWD MH, MNR, MEE - FORM TASKFORCE-consult OUTER ISLAND KAUPULE-identify their needs FORMULATE INTO PROPOSALS SUBMISSION TO DCC FOR SUPPORT TO CABINET CABINET TO REVIEW DCC SUBMISSION BEFORE APPROVAL Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

PLAN OF ACTION REQUIRE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FULFILL OBLIGATION OF WATER PLAN INVESTIGATE IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS - INCREASE WATER STORAGE CAPACITY - RAINWATER HARVESTING FROM AIRPORT - APPROPRIATE USE OF DESALINATION (Emergencies) - GREATER USE OF GROUNDWATER FOR 2nd CLASS USE WATER SURVEYS FOR OUTER ISLANDS GIS TRAINING CAPACITY BUILDING Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

FUTURE ACTIONS NEEDED RESOLVE OUSTANDING ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY PREVIOUS REPORTS WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS TO THE WATER PLAN REQUIRE SUPPORT AT NATIONAL LEVEL, REGIONAL LEVEL. PLAN OF ACTION REQUIRED THE SUPPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION Tuvalu Case Study 12/4/2018

CONCLUSIONS NEED TO IMPROVE WATER SITUATION IN FUNAFUTI AND OUTER ISLANDS IN PARTICULAR, NEED TO IMPROVE RAINWATER COLLECTION SYSTEMS EXAMINE OPTIONS and SELECT OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS (eg SURFACE WATER COLLECTION FROM RUNWAY) IMPROVE WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAMS Determine the best close for your audience and your presentation. Close with a summary; offer options; recommend a strategy; suggest a plan; set a goal. Keep your focus throughout your presentation, and you will more likely achieve your purpose.
