As sea levels worldwide continue to rise small island states such as Jamaica will increasing face challenges from this phenomena. Perhaps most pressing of all will be securing adequate quantities of fresh water for domestic, agricultural and other purposes.  This study attempted to predict how climate induced sea level rise of 0.5 m to 1 m would potentially impact the quality and quantity of freshwater in the southern Jamaican parish of Clarendon. It further sought to identify the adaptation response strategies, including policy interventions that would be required to mitigate the effects of seal level rise on freshwater availability and accessibility.
