pilot project

Pilot project to be handed over

This pilot project is an adaptation measure to climate change, which has seen solar powered desalination plants installed in selected atoll islands in Manus since its launch in May last year.

Manus is a maritime province with many atoll islands, where water shortage becomes an issue during the dry season.

The rise of sea level is also affecting the drinking water source of rural communities but the technology of converting water from beach wells, into fresh drinking water, using solar power can be the ultimate solution for atolls in the country.
