Climate change has far-reaching consequences, and one of its major impacts is the intensification of El Niño events, leading to prolonged and severe periods of drought in the Pacific. These climate-induced droughts not only diminish the availability of freshwater for consumption but also have detrimental effects on food production and agriculture. Pacific Island Countries (PICs) like Tonga and Kiribati rely heavily on groundwater and rainfall as their primary sources of freshwater, exacerbating the myriad of challenges faced daily.
