Pacific Island Groundwater and Future Climates: First-pass Regional Vulnerability Assessment Map 5: Hydrogeological island types in the Pacific region


This map shows information about the Hydrogeological Island Types in the Pacific region as well as the potential for fresh groundwater and surface water in each country.

This map is Map 3 of a series of 7 maps that were developed as part of the Pacific Island Groundwater and Future Climates: First-pass Regional Vulnerability Assessment  http://dx.doi.org/10.11636/Record.2014.043. The maps were developed by Geoscience Australia for the Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) programme.
