Visão geral do programa
Small island developing states face distinct hydrogeological vulnerabilities, where urban water reticulation and sanitation systems must operate under severe spatial and environmental constraints. This four-day programme examines the engineering principles required to design, expand, and maintain resilient potable water networks across island catchments. Participants review urban treatment processes adapted for high-turbidity surface sources and delicate coastal aquifers, ensuring infrastructure can withstand extreme rainfall events, saline intrusion, and geographic isolation from international supply chains.
The course addresses the pressing challenge of faecal sludge management within rapidly expanding peri-urban settlements and dense informal communities. Attendees analyse non-sewered sanitation systems, containment typologies, and mechanised or manual desludging logistics suitable for island settings with high water tables. Technical sessions investigate low-cost, decentralised treatment options, including drying beds and co-composting facilities, that safeguard shallow groundwater reserves and adjacent marine ecosystems from microbial and chemical contamination.
Delivered in Auckland, New Zealand, this professional training connects network design theory with practical utility operations. Through guided exercises, technical officers evaluate piped network extension methodologies, non-revenue water mitigation measures, and routine water quality testing regimes. Public sector managers and project delivery teams acquire structured frameworks to plan, procure, and execute climate-resilient water and sanitation investments that align with international development partner technical performance benchmarks and asset management criteria.
Rapid urbanisation and climate volatility in Pacific island centres place unsustainable pressure on ageing utility networks and fragile coastal aquifers. This programme directly targets project execution priorities under the Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project and its Additional Financing, providing municipal engineers and ministry officers with the operational competencies needed to deliver complex network upgrades, extend trunk mains, reduce non-revenue water, and implement safe, cost-effective faecal sludge treatment infrastructure across vulnerable small island environments.
Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Auckland, New Zealand, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.
The Programme Strengthens Institutional Capability
- Hydrogeology of small island developing states: surface catchments, shallow aquifers, and saline intrusion risks
- Source water protection: managing land-use impacts, agricultural runoff, and turbidity variations in raw water
- Potable water treatment design: coagulation, flocculation, media filtration, and reliable disinfection for island utilities
- Water safety planning: applying WHO standards to identify network vulnerabilities and public health risks
- Routine water quality sampling protocols: field chlorine residual testing, turbidity metrics, and microbiological analysis
- Trunk main and secondary reticulation design principles for growing peri-urban centres
- Pipe material selection, jointing standards, and corrosion mitigation in coastal and aggressive soils
- Hydraulic network modelling: node analysis, demand profiling, and boundary conditions using EPANET principles
- Avaliação de riscos climáticos e ambientais
- Planeamento da adaptação e da mitigação
- Estratégias setoriais para a energia, a água e o solo
- Conceção de projetos para objetivos climáticos e ambientais
It is designed for solomon Water technical officers and network engineers, sanitation engineers and environmental health specialists, engineers and technical personnel from the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification and others who want practical, current skills in climate, environment and natural resources.
