81257043 — Climate-resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) — Consultancy in Water Resources Management and Water Utility Management
The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) have commissioned us to implement the above project.
Climate change poses a severe threat to Grenada's water supply because the small island developing state (SIDS) relies on surface water sources and rainwater catchment.
The project supports the water sector's comprehensive transformation on multiple levels, which represents a nationwide ‘paradigm shift’ for Grenada's overall resilience. This paradigm shift will include citizens and businesses as water users, the public sector as provider of potable water and infrastructure. Through appropriate governance, regulation, economic incentives and raising awareness, behaviour changes will be triggered.
The consultant will contribute to the outputs through capacity building of the Grenadian water utility company and the strengthening of the planned water resource management.
The project Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS), commissioned and fi-nanced by Germany's Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) presents an opportunity to comprehensively mainstream and implement climate resilience throughout Grenada's entire national water sector. The project's holistic approach addresses two main climate risks and vulnerabilities of Grenada: freshwater availability and disaster preparedness. Other Caribbean communities share these vulnerabilities, rendering this project a model for regional application.
Climate change poses a severe threat to Grenada's water supply because the small island developing state (SIDS) relies on surface water sources and rainwater catchment. Water is a scarce resource in Grenada and climate change has already begun to aggravate the problem with an increasing average temperature and more erratic rainfall. More frequent heavy rainfall events make water supply outages more common due to high turbidity in the raw water supply. Saltwater intrusion in coastal groundwater aquifers due to sea level rise will further reduce the availability of freshwater in the future. The Vulnerability Assessment (VA) undertaken as part of the G-CREWS project preparation also indicates the water sector's high level of exposure, sensitivity and limited adaptive capacity to cope with climate change impacts.
