Case StudyBequia

Sustainable water supply• Key vulnerability: Fresh Water• Solution: Salt-water desalinization – Salt water reverse

osmosis• Advantages:

– Greater energy and water security– Could be easily expanded to meet growing community

demand– Only three months to assemble– Is a baseline to assess the effectiveness of replicating it

Case StudyThe Coconut Bay Resort & SpaRainwater and Upgraded Wastewater Treatment and

Recycling Facility

Advantages:• Cost effectiveness• New policy guidline
