PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Grenada has only limited water resources - a challenge that has been exacerbated by rising average temperatures and more irregular rainfall. At the same time, frequent heavy rain leads to water supply failures because the treatment time for raw water is extended due to increased turbidity. Sea level rise is also allowing salt water to penetrate coastal aquifers, further reducing the already scarce water reserves for the population. This development also endangers the growth of the Grenadian economy - especially in agriculture and tourism.
Goal
Grenada's water management has improved its climate resilience and is managed more efficiently.
Approach
The project includes five components:
Climate-resilient water management: With a body that manages the water resources, the government is improving the overall management of the water sector. It also creates the conditions for water resources to be managed sustainably.
Climate-resilient water use: Through a fund from the Grenadian Development Bank, actors in agriculture and tourism receive grants to implement water-saving measures in their businesses.
Climate-resilient systems: The project is expanding the infrastructure and providing additional storage tanks so that the water supply can be secured even during the more frequently occurring dry phases or in the event of disasters.
Additional contribution of the water industry to Grenada's climate goals: The national water authority is improving its performance to reduce water losses in the network. This also in
