More than 2.2 million litres of emergency water have been delivered to communities and essential facilities across Fiji as prolonged dry conditions associated with El Niño continue to affect parts of the country.
In an update, the Fiji Government said the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO) had coordinated the delivery of 2,288,311 litres of water to 69 sites across the country’s four divisions as of November 10, 2026.
The Western Division received the largest volume of assistance, with 1,350,050 litres delivered to 48 sites.
In the Northern Division, 747,961 litres were delivered to 16 sites, while the Eastern Division received 90,300 litres across four sites.
The Central Division received 100,000 litres at one site.
According to the Government, emergency water deliveries are supporting villages, schools, nursing stations, health centres, police posts and weather stations affected by water shortages.
The operations are being coordinated by the NDRMO in collaboration with Divisional Commissioners’ Offices, relevant government agencies and partners, including the Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport, and the Water Authority of Fiji.
The Government said it continued to closely monitor the situation and coordinate assistance to ensure affected communities received the necessary support.
It has also urged members of the public to conserve water as dry conditions persist.
“Every drop counts! Let’s all do our part to conserve water, use it wisely and protect this precious resource for tomorrow,” the Government said.
