City Short Of Water

Climate Change is emerging as one of the biggest threats to water security in Papua New Guinea. In Port Moresby, prolonged dry seasons, rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and flooding are placing increasing pressure on the city's aging water system as the population rapidly grows. With the capital's population nearing one million people, the demand for clean and safe drinking water continues to rise. While Water PNG continues to maintain supply to the city, experts warn that climate pressures combined with aging infrastructure and rapid urban growth are worsening water shortages and sanitation challenges. #water&sanitation#climatechangeimpacts#nbcpngnews#cfi#terraasia
