The Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) Project aims to make the water sector in Grenada more resilient to climate change and to strengthen the efficiency of its management. Taking an Integrated Water Resources Management approach, the project supports the water sector’s comprehensive transformation on multiple levels.

Grenada’s water supply is primarily reliant on surface water and rainwater harvesting in the sister isles of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. With rising average temperatures, more unpredictable rainfall, more frequent heavy rainfall events, bringing high turbidity to the water systems, and saltwater intrusion in groundwater linked to sea-level rise, climate change is exacerbating water scarcity issues. G-CREWS supports the water sector by reducing water demand with a comprehensive engagement of water users and increasing water availability by increasing Nawasa’s storage capacity, implementing water losses reduction strategies and improving the climate-resilience of the water infrastructure.

Under the project, residential and commercial water users’ consumption behaviour change is triggered through appropriate governance, regulation, economic incentives and awareness-campaign.

The project is structured around five components:

1- Climate Resilient Water Governance

2- Climate Resilient Water Users

3- Climate Resilient Water Supply

4- Contributions to Grenada Climate Goals

5 – Regional Learning and Replication
