Niue

Niue is an island of about 1,300 people in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Tonga. It is one of world's largest coral islands. Niue is a uplifted coral atoll with cliffs on all sides.

 

Niue has been self-governing in free association with New Zealand since 1974; being fully responsible for internal affairs while New Zealand retains responsibility for external affairs and defense; however, these responsibilities confer no rights of control and are only exercised at the request of the Government of Niue.

 

The economy suffers from the typical Pacific island problems of geographic isolation, few resources, and a small population. Most of the population work on family plantations; paid work exists only in government service, small industry, and the Niue Development Board.

 

Its major environmental issues include increasing attention to conservationist practices to counter loss of soil fertility from traditional slash and burn agriculture.

 

The World Bank reports that at least 80 countries have water shortages and 2 billion people lack access to clean water. More disturbingly, the World Health Organization has reported that 1 billion people lack enough water to simply meet their basic needs, unfortunately in many countries water is scarce or contaminated.

 

Pure Aqua provides wide range of filtration and economical solutions based on the Niue's water resources.

Niue's main water resources are:

• Surface water is water from river, lake or fresh water wetland, which can be treated using different methods, such as Ultrafiltration Systems, Brackish Water RO.
• Desalination can be used for water from ocean, or sea source, which can be treated using Seawater Reverse Osmosis Systems; Desalination Systems.
• Ground Water or brackish water is from water located in the pore space of soil and rock “Borehole well”, which can be treated using Reverse Osmosis Systems, Chemical Dosing, UV Water Sterilizers.
• Government water supply, which could have high level of hardness or high level of chlorine, can be treated with Water Softener Systems, Media Water Filters.

Pure Aqua manufactures water treatment systems that meet the World Health Organization requirements.
