Securing Stanley's long-term water supply

Context

In the Falkland Islands, access to fresh water is a strategic issue for the development of the territory. The changing rainfall patterns, the increasing climatic variability and the increasing needs of the capital Stanley require enhanced planning of water infrastructure.
Stakes and objectives

Guarantee reliable and sustainable access to drinking water by integrating climate projections into infrastructure planning and strengthening local capacity for resource management.

Stakeholders

Falkland Islands Government and relevant technical departments.
Facility description

The Facility enables a complete analysis of the water supply system, from resource to distribution. Existing infrastructures are assessed to identify potential vulnerabilities.

Water level sensors are installed to improve real-time monitoring of reserves. The data collected is used to draw up development scenarios incorporating climate change and future growth in demand.
