Long Behalf blong Gavman mo pipol blong Vanuatu, yufala i alaoem mi blong talem " Halo long yufala " everiwan mo welkam yufala everiwan long significant okasen long namba 5th Pacific wota mo wastewota Ministeriol forum mo namba 12th Pacific wota mo wastewota annuol konference mo expo.
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. Modern Informasen mo sosaety blong yumi wetem wan array blong innovativ, kapability blogn solvem severol jalens we i rilate long efficiency risos urbanisasen mo gru blong population klaemet jenis mo sastainabol divilopmen.
Use blong teknikol long saed blong wota hemi wan wei we i most sakseful blong managem mo protektem Pacific aelan. Sekta blogn wota blogn ffuija bai hemi smart mo bai i ekonomisen energy.
Mi wantem kam back long koncept blong "innovasen" mo tingting long wanem na i signifiaem long ol smolsmol aelan we i divilop olsem Vanuatu.

· Adoptem wan niu teknology blogn impruvum tecknology blong wota purificasen mo ricycle.
· Considerasen alternativ wota source olsem desalinasen
· Impruvum affordability mo aksesibility blong wota logn every citisen
Olsem ol smol vulnerabol blong vast Pacific, yumi no nid blogn reinventem wil. Yumi traem blong lukaotem wanem we hemi availabol mo testem strong system we i link longphysikol mo digitol wol blong insurum toilered, smart wota solusen we i kaveramap various wota solusen we i kaveramap various wota managemen eria, cycles mo valu chain we i base long wan integrated approach blong every wota jenis considerasen.
Hosting blong Pacific wota mo wastewota Ministerial forum long Vanuatu bai i kam wan critikol oportunity blong everiwan blong reflect tru long impact blong klaemet jens mo natuol Hazards long fragile wota risos. Hemi wan opportunr taem blong lanem blogn each mo anata mo long collectivity :
