Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 45
80 - User change technical designs of sources to be cyclone proofed
81 - Ensure that tank catchment roofs are securely fastened before a storm
82 - Small dams & spring boxes may be used so the source itself is not buried
83 - Adjust the design of the intake box
84 - Promote underground tanks that are not susceptible to winds
85 - Use strong ferro cement tanks that will not move in wind
86 - Do not use light plastic polytanks in cyclone exposed areas
87 - Keep water source areas cleared, cut old branches and remove possible debris to protect infrastructure
88 - Build sea walls/other barriers around exposed coastal spring sources
197 - Use local knowledge on the supply from various sources throughout the year
198 - Identify nationally vulnerable areas to water shortage and target these first
199 - Develop national databases of water systems and supplies as a tool for decision making
200 - Undertake surveys of alternative water sources
201 - Undertake watershed mapping for land use management and forest maintenance
202 - Do not rely on a single source of water, use and develop multiple systems
203 - Fill standby/reservoir tanks during wet times for use during dry times
204 - Use different sources systems at different types of the year
205 - Physically transport water to vulnerable communities
206 - Relocate households to less vulnerable areas, villages, islands
207 - Provide drought early warnings to communities
