    Hi Ethan,

    If you haven’t already done so, please consult the Sustainable Land Use Plan, Part 2, Section 6.1 Water, especially Section 6.1.2, Overview of Current Situation (pg. 111). This document contains valuable insights regarding the lagoon’s capacity and its design for the annual dry season. You can access it in our Resources Section under TSIRC Publications.

    As Tom pointed out in his previous post, the local water supply faces challenges concerning both access (limited availability) and quality. I suggest that you evaluate these factors with your team and consider the advantages and disadvantages of implementing additional rainwater tanks.

    I hope you find this information helpful.

    Regards,
    Jean
