Papua New Guinea Water Supply Feasibility Study Papua New Guinea

Working as a sub-consultant to HunterH2O, Australia, Otak undertook water resources assessments for water supply in three towns in Papua New Guinea. The assessments included installation of hydro-logical monitoring systems and hydro-geological assessments (pumping tests and groundwater modelling) to confirm the most suitable water source, or combination of sources, to meet demand projections, with due consideration for climate change. Otak also prepared an outline environment management plan and social impact assessments for each water supply system, requiring household surveys and focus group discussions.
