Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

NAPA

The water resources of Samoa have encountered many disastrous and difficult situations as a direct result of climate change. Dry and drought periods result in water shortages while heavy rains bring flooding. Furthermore, sea level rise increases the possibilities of seawater intrusion into underground water aquifers. Extreme events such as cyclones and flash flooding have become prominent events, which have had major effects on the Samoa Water Authoritys service. All these events tend to disrupt the service and result in major problems of deteriorating water quality.
