Background. The Solomon Islands is divided into nine provinces: Central, Choiseul, Guadalcanal, Isabel, Makira-Ulawa, Malaita, Rennell and Bellona, Temotu, and Western. Nearly one-fifth of its estimated present total population of 515,870 (2009 Census) lives in urban and peri- urban areas. The country’s capital, Honiara City, is situated on the northwestern coast of Guadalcanal. The population growth rate is the highest in Guadalcanal (4.4%) followed by Honiara (2.7%), Western (2%), Central (1.9%) and Malaita (1.2%). Temporary and informal settlers are often not captured in the Census and at any one time the population of Guadalcanal can be closer to 150,000. In 2018, Honiara’s municipal population was estimated at over 86,000 while the population of the greater Honiara area (GHA) —including the peri-urban populations of Tandai and Malango—is estimated at around 115,000. On average, GHA residents are both young and relatively poor. Honiara’s poverty levels are higher than the national average, in part due to a higher cost of food and non-food goods and services. In GHA, most of the poor live in informal settlements. Making up nearly 25% of GHA’s population, informal settlers live on marginal land such as river-banks, steep and unstable slopes, and on the edge of swamps, and therefore tend to be more exposed to natural hazards. Informal settlements also lack centralized urban services, notably water supply and sanitation. 2. The Solomon Islands Water Authority, trading as Solomon Water (SW), a state-owned enterprise, was created and mandated to provide for the proper management and development of urban water resources and wastewater services in Solomon Islands. SW has been guided by its Five-year Action Plan and 30-Year Strategic Plan since 2017. These plans outline the strategy to meet the demand for water and wastewater services up to 2047 for Honiara, including peri- urban areas, as well as meeting the needs of other major urban centers in Solomon Islands. In line with SW’s plans, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) together with World Bank (WB), European Development Fund (EDF) and the Government of Solomon Islands (the government), have initiated the Solomon Islands Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project (UWSSSP) to help improve access to safe water and improved sanitation. To support associated matters including effective protection and management of the wider Honiara catchment, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is financing the Honiara Catchment Management Project (HCMP) as a project under Climate Resilient Urban Development in the Pacific program. The HCMP fully support the overall objectives of the UWSSSP. 3. Impact, outcome, and outputs of the UWSSSP. To be implemented from November 2019 to June 2027, UWSSSP will seek to increase access to safe water and improved sanitation in urban areas increased with the outcome of efficiency, climate change and disaster resiliency, and sustainability of safe water and sanitation in the GHA being improved. The UWSSSP includes four outputs: • Output 1: Urban water supplies are continuous and safe. Including: (i) expanding the surface water intake with additional 5 million liters per day (MLD) and upgrading water treatment plant capacity in Kongulai (15 MLD); (ii) building new 11 km treated water trunk

June, 2009 i A DECLARATION I, Lincy Pende, declare that this thesis is an original piece of work done by me. Where other sources have been used, these have been duly acknowledged. Any omission and error or otherwise is my own and the main content of this thesis has not previously submitted for any degree in any other University. ………………… Lincy Pende Date: A Statement by Supervisor I hereby confirm that the work contained in this thesis is of Lincy Pende unless otherwise acknowledged. ………………………. Dr. Manoranjan Mohanty Date: ii ABSTRACT Urbanisation is an inevitable process of development in developing countries. It presents both challenges and opportunities. In most of the developing countries however, the rate of urban growth outstretches the abilities of cities to cope. The urban growth put pressure on civic authorities, making them under-resourced in providing basic urban services at adequate levels. Consequently, cities and towns have become centers of more problems rather than opportunities for progress. The present study aims to investigate the impact of urban growth on the provision of water-supply and sanitation services in Honiara City. The study is underpinned by the key proposition that rapid urban growth has adverse impact on water and sanitation services.
