From Vision to Action Towards Sustainable Water Management in the Pacific
The integrated and sustainable management of water resources in small island countries of the
Pacific and other regions is vital for the health and social well being of their people, the protection
of their environments and the development of their economies. The very limited nature of water
resources, the vulnerability of these islands and their resources, including water, to natural
disasters, over-exploitation and pollution combined with increasing demands for freshwater due to
expanding populations and, in some cases, tourism, industry and agriculture, makes the
sustainable management of water resources a very high priority.
