This report provides design details and costs for the proposed long-term improvements to the water supply
system at Hihifo on the island of Tongatapu, Kingdom of Tonga. This report was part of the demonstration project under the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) programme
Tropical Cyclone Gita hit the main island of Tongatapu and the island of ‘Eua on the night of Monday, 12th February 2018 as a destructive category 4 storm, causing severe damages to these two islands which consists of about 80% of the Total population of Tonga.
This assessment uses the post-disaster data collected by the Statistical Department to describe the characteristics of the affected population, nature and spatial concentration of the damage, and the aid required and received at the time of the interview by the Tongan population.
This is about conservation in Tonga.
Between September 10, 2013 – October 3, 2013 the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation conducted a

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai massive undersea volcanic eruption occurred on the 15th of January 2022 and led to an induced tsunami event. The eruption triggered a tsunami warning for several South Pacific island nations with rising water levels were reported on the coastline of Peru and the Pacific Coast in the United States and caused devastating impact across Tonga. In addition, volcanic ash residue was also visible on land surfaces including building structures and surrounding vegetation.
The Plan is country owned and led, and was developed with the full participation of and in consultation with internal stakeholders, and private sector and community representatives.
This plan outlines the objectives, current status, the challenges and the proposed solutions for the fisheries sector of Tonga.
The aim of this brief is to outline the opportunities that exist for PICs like Tonga in planning for selective inclusion of genetically modified food for long term resilience.
The process to develop the Tonga Energy Road Map represents a joint effort among the Government of Tonga (GoT), Tonga Power Ltd. (TPL) and the development partners. The key analytical studies which form the inputs to the Road Map are financed by different agencies.
This feasibility study was based on information gathered remotely, consultation with Tongan government agencies, community representatives and researchers familiar with the island. The authors did not visit Late and thus the recommendations presented herein do not reflect direct knowledge of the island.
As part of the development of this report, a survey was conducted of around 88% of the Hihifo residents. The
results highlighted that the future of Hihifo’s water supply requires the integration of rainwater and public water
supply system.
