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 outages because the treatment time of the raw water is extended due to increased turbidity. The rise in sea level is also allowing salt water to penetrate into coastal aquifers and further reducing the already scarce water reserves for the population. This development also threatens the growth of the Grenadian economy - especially in agriculture and tourism.
Objective
Grenada's water management has improved its climate resilience and is managed more efficiently.
Approach
The project comprises five components:
Climate-resilient water management: By establishing a body that manages water resources, the government is improving the overall management of the water sector. It is also creating 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 operations.
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 frequent dry periods 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 in order to
