Kiribati Met Services help Tarawa Drought Response Plan

 

Along with assessing information from water reservoir tanks and groundwater conditions on the island, the plan also relies on climate forecasts from the Kiribati Meteorological Service (KMS) to activate three levels of the response - awareness of the community on current and projected rainfall and appropriate measures to conserve water; advising the community of potential risk to National Water Reserves and increased awareness about wise water use; and the third level, which is an official declaration of a drought.
