Cover Story: Norfolk Island, like many islands in the subtropical Pacific, is at an increased risk of drought, and the consensus among global climate models is that the future climate will be even drier. Approximately 95% of households on Norfolk Island rely primarily on rainwater tanks for potable water, and the remoteness and isolation of the island necessitates strategies in place to support communities in effectively preventing, preparing for, responding to and recovering from ‘water emergencies’. To test the hypothesis that desalination is the most cost-effective technology for providing potable water during ‘water emergencies’, this study calculated and compared the levelised cost of nine intervention options on Norfolk Island and calculated how reductions in projected rainfall changed the modelled water yields. View this paper
