More World Day for Water Program Activities…
Project officers from TANGO’s 4CA and TWWS projects, together with project officers from other key water related projects being implemented in Tuvalu, including IWRM and PACC will be conducting a tour through the community on World Day for Water to identify houses where simple gutter maintenance (i.e. the replacement of a missing end cap or the replacement of a missing bracket) could provide a significant improvement to water harvesting capacity and assist in addressing these issues.
These officers will bee joined by youth who recently attended a 4CA climate change awareness workshop where water management and drought conditions were discussed.
For these youth, considered to be the strength of the community, this activity provides a practical opportunity to apply the knowledge learned during the 4CA workshop.
