Abstract
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have unique challenges in water resource management due to their small geographical area, reliance on fragile ecosystems, and vulnerability to climate change. This paper presents an Integral Urban Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Design Guide to enhance water circularity as a long-term solution for SIDS. The guide emphasises the integration of water treatment, water circularity, and nature-based solutions that can be easily adapted to Caribbean SIDS's unique geographi- cal, social, and economic conditions. By fostering circular water techniques with conventional water treatment processes, water harvesting and sustainability. This design guide focuses on water resources provisions from rivers, groundwater reservoirs or dams in the West Indies and critical infrastructure requirements which provides long-term viability of potable water supply. Bene- fits of the suggested WTP design includes step-by-step processes for improved water security, increased resistance to climatic changes, and less dependency on external water supplies. The paper presents a replicable paradigm that can be easily applied across Caribbean SIDS to promote sustainable development and self-sufficiency in urban, sub-urban integrated water resources management (IWRM).
