    Long name blong gavman mo pipol blong Vanuatu  mi wishim yufala wan gud welkam.

    Vanuatu hemi very honored blong hostem fes taem eva important iven ia. Gavman blong Vanuatu i kam memba blong Pacific Wota mo Wastewotta Assowiation ( PWWA) long 2017 we UNELCO nao hemi faonding memba blong PWWA hemi important tumas blong Vanuatu blong hostem long yia ia iven blong alaoem ol anata Pacific aelan nasen blong joen wetem Vanuatu blong celebretem yia blong wota 2019-2020.

    Wota hemi laef. Hemi wan popula axiom long saot Pacific rigen , undaoining long har level blong importance blong pipol blong regen place i we risos i kam aot long hem. Long everi form ia; wota blong rain, aquifer, stim,  pond, springs, lake, riva, ocean wota, snowpack ice, mo wota vapour, water hemi wan essentiol mo centrol risos.

    From fundamentol rison ia, gavman blong Vanuatu tru long kaonsel blong ol Minista long namba 50 decisen blong 2018 hemi resolve we oli declarem long 2019 to 2020 hemi yia blong wota. Dicisen ia hemi indicatem politikol will kommitmen mo lidaship long wota sekta mo prioritie blong hem.

    From wanem disisen ia? Long Vanuatu olsem long anata pat long rijen mo elsewhere, human mo naturol aktivity affect wirtually every secksen blong wota cycle, often forest clining, afforestasen, agrikalja, bushfaea, includum evaportranspirasen, flow regimes, groundwaste wota tabol mo sea level.

    Also, human aktivity influences could formasen via long emisen blong aerosols mo gaseous precursors. Principol trit long wota risos blong human i includum:

    ·         Wota Pollution ( contaminasen blong surface wota mo graonwater reservoir wetem chemikol mo microorganisme)

    ·         Wota scarity ( jens blong run off regimes mo jenis- mostly lowering blong graon wota tabol)

    ·         Mo important wan, hemi globol klaemet jens wetem konsequence olsem redistribusen blong blong precipasen, raesing blong level solwato draot mo food sikiruty.

    Impact blong gobol warning mo konsequence projected klaemet jen we i mekem incrising concentrasen blogn greenhaos gases ( GHGS) long atmosphere long wota risoswe i emerge olsem mata blong grave concern blong wota risors manager mo dicisen meka.

    Vanuatu hemo partikularly susceptabol long kalmet jens due long didaen run-off from wota watchemen, declaening soil fertility, dependency blong subsistence, agrikalja, prevelance blogn laefstael diseases mo draot.

    Therefor, mi stap long view sei impact blong kelmaet jenis long wota risos hemi should remain long important agenda blong claemet jenis deliberasen long every intanasonal mo globol forums.

    Most importanly hemi primarly long lokol mo regional scales se policies i mas evolved mo teknikol measures shuld takem blogn avoiedem o ridusum negativ impacts blong klaemet jenis long naturol invaremen mo sosaety.

    Naoia, letem mi i tanem i ko long tim blong Ministeriol forum " smart aelan wota" hemi thime blong yia ia blong Pacific wota Ministeriol forum mo Pacific wota mo wastewota konferens mo expo 2019.
