Fiji IWRW: New Film Highlights Achievements in Integrating Land and Water Management for Flood Preparedness in Nadi

In April 2012 the township of Nadi in Fiji experienced devastating flooding that claimed numerous lives, rendered thousands homeless and left a path of destruction estimated into the hundreds of millions. That was the second raging flood to hit the Pacific’s travel and economic hub in just three months. This documentary highlights the vulnerability of the Pacific SIDS to such devastating climatic events and shows the work of the Nadi Basin Catchment Committee (NBCC), established with support of the GEF Pacific IWRM Project, to strengthen the technical and local coordination aspects of one of the Pacific’s most pressing water issues. Big congratulations to Mr. Vinesh Kumar and the NBCC for their many successes over recent years!
