Water Scarcity on Remote Islands
Water is an issue for small island communities, especially in the Pacific island economies and in archipelagic countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia. Europe is pioneering the ‘circular economy concept’ through trials in three Greek islands. This concept is worth considering in the Asian context where harsh climatic conditions are making access to freshwater increasingly difficult for remote island settlements.
