Water and Tourism (Part two of three)
The second of a three-part investigation on the future of water in the Caribbean, and regional issues for the Third World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan - March 2003. Communications Consultant Wesley Gibbings looks at the connection between freshwater and a thirsty industry - tourism - the Caribbean's main economic engine.

Water and Food (Part three of three)
Communications Consultant Wesley Gibbings concludes a three-part examination of the future of freshwater in Caribbean islands with a report on water and food production. The Caribbean's food import bill is outstripping the region's food production.
