Key Stakeholder The Department of Environmental Protection is the primary source for providing data needed to populate the water data tables.

Stakeholder Meeting Overview Stakeholder was provided with CARICOM questionnaire on water to understand the detail of statistics requested Stakeholder shared what data was produced to populate the data tables Missing data was identified as data gaps

Water - Indicators Obtained - Data was readily available for the following tables: Table W1: Renewable Freshwater Resources Table W2: Freshwater Abstraction Table W3: Freshwater Available for Use Table W5: Water Supply Industry

Water - Challenges Prior to 2010 data was based on estimates The stakeholder can only provide data for the years due to a lack of manpower to compile and update the respective tables Stakeholder also faces lack of funding and time constraints

Water - Data Gaps Data are not available for the following tables: Table W4: Total Water Use Table W6: Wastewater Treatment Facilities Table W7: Percentage of Population linked to waste water treatment
