Grenada is reported to be going full speed ahead with the implementation of the Rainwater Harvesting Regulation, which will ultimately be enacted into law.
And, the series of Public Consultations in this regard reached its final stage recently.
The consultations were held basically to raise awareness among the general public about the approaches surrounding rain-water harvesting.
The project is being undertaken by the German development agency (GIZ).
The programme was designed for Grenada, emerging out of a national assessment of key public and private sector stakeholder institutions and select communities, followed by national workshops.
The consultations on the regulations appear to be a major phase as it pertains to the future of rainwater harvesting here.
The Programme is framed against the global vision of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) with a broad objective “to contribute to the conservation of the water resources of the Caribbean through adoption of sustainable water management and conservation technologies”.
The Programme seeks to develop and strengthen capacity to facilitate the implementation of rainwater harvesting for household and commercial purpose and develop support policies and incentives into national development strategies and policies within an IWRM framework.
