Barbados Water Needs Assessment

project overview

Integrated Sustainability conducted a water needs assessment in Barbados focused on water usage, accessibility, and storage, identifying vulnerable communities that could benefit from personal water tanks and rainwater-harvesting systems. The project integrated sustainable, energy-efficient approaches to improve water availability and quality, prioritizing low-income areas while lowering operational costs.

project deliverables

• Identified vulnerable households, schools, polyclinics, and communities for inclusion in a water storage program incorporating personal water tanks and rainwater harvesting systems.
• Incorporated stakeholder feedback into the planning and implementation of the water storage program.
• Recommended energy-efficient water supply solutions utilizing solar power and information technology systems to reduce climate impacts and operational costs.
• Developed climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, including incremental cost estimates for proposed program implementation.
