In the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Tuvalu faces a growing crisis: the scarcity of fresh water. This small island nation, already grappling with the devastating effects of climate change, now contends with a dwindling supply of potable water that endangers public health, food security, and the overall well-being of its people.There is no aquifer in these islets.
And then this:
The soils of Tuvalu's islands are usually shallow, porous, alkaline, coarse-textured, with carbonate mineralogy and high pH values of up to 8.2 to 8.9.[5] The soils are usually deficient in most of the important nutrients needed for plant growth (e.g., nitrogen, potassium and micronutrients such as iron, manganese, copper and zinc), so garden beds need to be enhanced with mulch and fertiliser to increase their fertility.[5] The Tuvalu islands have a total land area of only about 26 km2, less than 10 sq mi (30 km2).
in 1950 there were 4700 people on the island to use available resources now there is 11,700 stop screwing around and blaming others for the lack of water or go the way of easter islanders. natural selection
