How do you get water on Aore Island?

There are several ways to get water in Vanuatu:

  1. Rainwater harvesting: Many households in Vanuatu collect rainwater from their roofs by using gutters and storing the water in tanks. This is a common and sustainable way to get clean water. Water is very drinkable in Vanuatu.
  2. Boiling water: If you cannot access clean water, you can boil water to kill any harmful bacteria and parasites that may be present.
  3. Water purification tablets: These can be used to treat contaminated water and make it safe to drink.
  4. Bottled water: If you do not have access to clean water, you can purchase bottled water from stores in Vanuatu.
  5. Public water sources: Some villages have communal water sources, such as wells or springs, where residents can collect water for their daily needs.
