Breaks in water supply systems are very often, therefore the international water quality cannot be reached.

The gains made in water supply coverage are increasingly threatened.

Initiatives include improving water supply management in and around Tarawa coastal management protection measures such as mangrove re plantation and protection of public infrastructure strengthening laws to reduce coastal erosion and population settlement planning to reduce personal risks.
