Call for Experts: Improvement of water supply management through a GIS-based monitoring and control system for water loss reduction in Saint Kitts and Nevis

The CTCN is seeking experts to participate in the upcoming solicitation to provide technical assistance on:

Improvement of water supply management through a GIS-based monitoring and control system for water loss reduction in Saint Kitts and Nevis

Deadline: 19 May, 2025

St. Kitts and Nevis relies heavily on rainfall for its water supply, which is collected through groundwater and surface sources. However, shifting rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and more frequent droughts threaten freshwater availability and quality. Coastal areas are at risk of flooding and saltwater intrusion, while pollution in lower watershed areas adds further pressure to limited water supplies. Without stronger investment in climate resilience, improved water storage, and better management, St. Kitts and Nevis remains highly vulnerable to climate change's ongoing and future impacts.

This Technical Assistance aims to enhance WSD's and NWD´s overall Non-Revenue-Water (NRW) management with a structured and systematic approach. WSD's and NWD´s current data models, as well as the linked management processes, require a complete review and redesign. The required GIS data model must allow systematic and automated data analysis and therefore must follow examples of internationally recommended systems. Some of the expected outputs are:

• Project Management.
• Establishment of a GIS data structure and procedures
• District Metered Areas (DMA) testing.
• Regional South-South exchange event.
