Challenges & Inconsistencies
• The following data was not available:– The Available Freshwater for Use• Base on the collaboration between St. Kitts Water
Department and Nevis Water Department there is no periodic records on this measure. However, in past reports they had been figures mention but no accurate figure as to the current availability of freshwater for use can be stated.
Data Relevance and Use
• Water Statistics are very crucial to an island development. Without this a country would not be able to say:
If a particular area will need greater supply due increase population. The months where water supply may be low due to demand or inadequate rainfall.
The growth or reduction in water usage by area.
