Hon Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew
The Government broke ground on a 2 million gallon desalination plant today.
This desalination plant costs about $50 million. This had to be done otherwise the country would run out of water. The Government therefore had to prioritize.
This water situation is due to decreased rainfall, increased temperatures and salt water intrusion to underground wells, all as a result of the climate crisis.
This is why we need climate justice, as the cost for climate adaptation is unbearable for small island developing states.
The previous government did absolutely nothing to increase water availability. A dismal failure.
