Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Emergency water deliveries to remote maritime communities have become a resource-intensive operation for the government. A single maritime water-carting trip to certain island groups can cost up to $90,000. This financial strain is driven by the dry spell affecting water sources in the Western Division and Northern Division.

The Water Authority of Fiji manages urban water supply systems as El Niño causes low rainfall and a dry season in the country.
