Abstract

The GoCI is committed to supplying reliable potable water to all properties connected to the water network by 2015. The benefits of a reticulated and treated water supply with storage are that the public health is improved, especially for the young, elderly and those with a medical condition, there is water available for usage during dry periods and that water is available for fire-fighting. The reliable supply of potable water engenders great opportunity to secure this resource to cater for population and economic growth and the continuing health of local communities. This paper shows a multi water source water supply system without energy and feed water only by gravity. The water treatment process described in this paper is simple and effective for the islands in the South Pacific Ocean.
