2. Nabouwalu is located on the southwest tip of Vanualevu in the province of Bua
It is one of the two major seaport of entry on the island of Vanualevu
Nabouwalu has:
1. Hospital
2. Police Station
3. Post Office
4. Various Government Utilities
Approximate population is 5,118 persons
Treatment Method – Direct Chlorination without sedimentation and filtration
Water supply is disrupted during rainy weather
Water borne disease (Typhoid) was detected in Nabouwalu in 2010
Nabouwalu will be rezoned as a town
Background
3. Package Water Treatment Plant
aim
Provide safe, clean and accessible
drinking water in urban and rural area
in the country and being an influence to
the whole pacific .
purpose
To provide treated water supply to the
people of nabouwalu
objectives
• Must be cost effective
• Minimal footprint
• Able to treat raw water into drinking water
• Include coagulation, flocculation, filtration
and chlorination treatment plant.
• Portable frame structure, concrete base
• Operate 60% total design inflow requirement
• Availability of training for operators
• Backup services in country for minor issue
• Able to operate under genset power.

Resource Requirements
7. To identify a possible Water Treatment Plant design that is cost effective and has a smaller footprint
than conventional designs while maintaining water treatment standards.
Expected Results of the Project
8. LITERATURE REVIEW
Membrane bio reactor wastewater
treatment plant
Based on waste water treatment plant in
Saudi Arabia
Took more process and time to remove
bacteria and virus. Min-9months.
Requires a lot of space for vast of
clarifier and for more process.
Cater large amount of people in supply.
Requires maintenances in massive
process.
Requires good budget for construction
and maintenances.
water leakage prevention from
water pipes
Based on water leakage prevention
campaign in fukuoka city.
Effect from degradation, corrosion and
breakages due to load applied.
Prevention measured:
- replacing old pipes.
- upgrading and improving
distribution pipes ..
- controlling water pressure - and
distribution management system.
water, sanitation and hygiene in
pacific islands
Based on water, sanitation and hygiene
(WASH) systems in the Pacific Island
schools.
Promote health and education of girls and
children with disability.
Very poor WASH systems in the pacific
island countries and territories (PICT).
Main aim was to document the
characteristics and effectiveness of
approaches to improve WASH systems in
PICT’s.
9. PACKAGE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER SUPPLY
SYSTERM
10. Status of Water Resources in Fiji
Urban areas depend on surface water whereas small, low lying islands and rural areas deeply
depend on groundwater and seldom rainwater.
Contamination, lack of sanitation and awareness, loss of potable water in reticulation systems
all lead to unsafe water resource.
Proper upgrade of equipment together with relevant training is highly required.
Problems with water resources and associated environmental issues
Rainwater
No proper catchment
Climate change – drought.
Groundwater
Differ for different physical environments.
