Water Resources Management in Tuvalu with Special Emphasis on Rainwater Harvesting
By Filipo.Taulima
Frequently, presenters must deliver material of a technical nature to an audience unfamiliar with the topic or vocabulary. The material may be complex or heavy with detail. To present technical material effectively, use the following guidelines from Dale Carnegie Training®.
Consider the amount of time available and prepare to organize your material. Narrow your topic. Divide your presentation into clear segments. Follow a logical progression. Maintain your focus throughout. Close the presentation with a summary, repetition of the key steps, or a logical conclusion.
Keep your audience in mind at all times. For example, be sure data is clear and information is relevant. Keep the level of detail and vocabulary appropriate for the audience. Use visuals to support key points or steps. Keep alert to the needs of your listeners, and you will have a more receptive audience.

2. INTRODUCTION
WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT BOTH DETERMINE QUANTITY QUALITYAND AVAILABILTY OF WATER
IS PREDOMINANTLY THE PRE-REQUISITE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
RAINWATER IS THE ONLY RELIABLE CHEAP AND POTABLE WATER IN MOST ISLANDS IN TUVALU
NATIONAL PRIORITY-DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND TEN YEAR WATER PLAN
If you have several points, steps, or key ideas use multiple slides. Determine if your audience is to understand a new idea, learn a process, or receive greater depth to a familiar concept. Back up each point with adequate explanation. As appropriate, supplement your presentation with technical support data in hard copy or on disc, , or the Internet. Develop each point adequately to communicate with your audience.

3. COUNTRY PROFILE Land area-26 sq.kms
No of islands: 9 low lying coral atolls
Population- approximately over 10,000 people
Climate- pleasantly tropical, if monotonous; no dry, wet or hot and cold seasons
In your opening, establish the relevancy of the topic to the audience. Give a brief preview of the presentation and establish value for the listeners. Take into account your audience’s interest and expertise in the topic when choosing your vocabulary, examples, and illustrations. Focus on the importance of the topic to your audience, and you will have more attentive listeners.

4. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
THREE MAIN SOURCES OF WATER:
RAINWATER (main source)
WELL OR GROUNDWATER (supplementary)
DESALINATION WATER (emergency use only on 3 islands)

5. RAINWATER HARVESTING THREE TYPES: Individual household systems
Communal systems (large buildings)
Government houses: both private and communal

7. WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS
INSPECTION OF WATER CATCHMENT TANKS/CISTERNS AND WELLS
INSPECTION OF DRINKING WATER FOR RESTAURANTS, HOTELS AND OTHER PRIVATE BUSINESSES.
TO IMPLEMENT WATER QUALITY TESTING PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION OF WATER TO INDIVIDUALS.

8. TEN YEAR WATER PLAN
TO PROVIDE POTABLE, SAFE DRINKING WATER FOR INTENDED USES- WHETHER IT IS FOR DOMESTICS USE AGRICULTURE,COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY-BY THE YEAR 2002
CONTROL METHODS OF DISPOSAL FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF WATSES

9. VISION, ISSUES and CONSTRAINTS
VISION - WATER RESOURCES SHOULD BE ADEQUATE AND SUSTAINABLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
ISSUES - INCREASE IN POPULATION, INSUFFICIENT CATCHMENTS & STORAGE
CONSTRAINTS- FINANCIAL RESOURCES, TECHNICAL STAFF, GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES.
REQUIREMENT: HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT APPROACH

10. NATIONAL CONSULTATION PROCESS
WATER AUTHORITY-PWD
MH, MNR, MEE - FORM TASKFORCE-consult
OUTER ISLAND KAUPULE-identify their needs
FORMULATE INTO PROPOSALS
SUBMISSION TO DCC FOR SUPPORT TO CABINET
CABINET TO REVIEW DCC SUBMISSION BEFORE APPROVAL

11. PLAN OF ACTION REQUIRE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
FULFILL OBLIGATION OF WATER PLAN
INVESTIGATE IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS
- INCREASE WATER STORAGE CAPACITY
- RAINWATER HARVESTING FROM AIRPORT
- APPROPRIATE USE OF DESALINATION (Emergencies)
- GREATER USE OF GROUNDWATER FOR 2nd CLASS USE
WATER SURVEYS FOR OUTER ISLANDS
GIS TRAINING
CAPACITY BUILDING

12. FUTURE ACTIONS NEEDED
RESOLVE OUSTANDING ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY PREVIOUS REPORTS WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS TO THE WATER PLAN
REQUIRE SUPPORT AT NATIONAL LEVEL, REGIONAL LEVEL.
PLAN OF ACTION REQUIRED THE SUPPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

13. CONCLUSIONS
NEED TO IMPROVE WATER SITUATION IN FUNAFUTI AND OUTER ISLANDS
IN PARTICULAR, NEED TO IMPROVE RAINWATER COLLECTION SYSTEMS
EXAMINE OPTIONS and SELECT OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS
IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS (eg SURFACE WATER COLLECTION FROM RUNWAY)
IMPROVE WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAMS
Determine the best close for your audience and your presentation. Close with a summary; offer options; recommend a strategy; suggest a plan; set a goal. Keep your focus throughout your presentation, and you will more likely achieve your purpose.
