• Proceedings of the Pacific Regional Consultation on Water in Small Island Countries – Country Briefing Paper: Kiribati - Like many countries in the Pacific, water is a crucial and political issue in Kiribati. As the population increases, the pressure on the water resources also increases – not to mention the climate change effect... In Kiribati three main bodies deal with water – Water Unit, Environmental Health and PUB. The role of the water unit includes the water resource manager, policies and legislation matters, and implementation of rural water projects. The Environmental Health Unit role includes chemical and bacterial testing of water supplies while PUB runs and operates the Water Supply system on South Tarawa. There are a number of visions, issues and constraints which Kiribati is or will be facing. These include lack of water, vulnerability to climate change, lack of community awareness, usage of appropriate technologies, and lastly the setting of an appropriate water tariff.
