The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $1.5 million for the Water Resource Management and Flood Resilience Program to reduce vulnerability to flooding, a projected climate change impact, in coastal lowland Barbados. Activities of this program may include improving storm water management, analyzing water quality and the impacts of storms on coastal areas and the marine environment, supporting the design and construction of storm water harvesting structures along major tributaries, strengthening the institutional, policy, and legislative framework related to storm water, and developing improved climate science systems and information databases to inform decision making in the water sector.
