Due to the scalability of such an efficient model, the Government has now fully adopted it and is currently installing necessary infrastructure across the other atolls and islands.
The project has leveraged more than US$333 million in public funds for further scaling, engendering a true transformation in addressing water shortages.
With access to safe drinking water, communities will see reduced risk of waterborne disease, improved social security, and less outward migration from outer islands, with flow on benefits for development, local tourism and livelihoods.
With recharge and monitoring efforts established under the project, the quality and consumption of groundwater will progressively be restored.
Ultimately, each and every citizen will have clean water on tap, when they need it.
Making annual water shortages, a thing of the past.
