An evaluation of water and sanitation in The Kingdom of Tonga, July 2011

The National Water, Sanitation and Climate Outlook for TOnga identifies the Government's and other stakeholder's priorities to address driving forces of change in these key areas. It is one of many steps required to guide the development and security of a safe water supply and sanitation facilities for the future of Tonga, and will ensure that efforts are focused on supporting sustainable development of water resources for all Tongans.

It summarises previous work, documents recent and current investigations and recommends further investigations to gain a better understanding of the water resources. It also outlines details of a proposed national monitoring and protection programme and makes recommendations about legislation for water resource management and protection.

reporting skills as well as make improvements to the existing database including inclusion of
paper records and review identified anomalies as well as backup to Tideda.
