Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability Assessment - Assessment of sea-level rise and inundation effects on Bonriki Freshwater Lens, Tarawa Kiribati - Groundwater Modelling report


This report is to provide a summary of the methodology and results of numerical groundwater modelling activities undertaken as part of the Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability (BIVA) project activities.
The Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability Assessment (BIVA) project aimed to improve understanding of the vulnerability of the Bonriki freshwater reserve to coastal hazards and climate variability and change. Improved knowledge of risks to this freshwater resource will enable better adaptation planning by the Government of Kiribati.
