With many water supply reliability problems facing island
nations in the South Pacific, the Royal Family is interested in
learning more about the "Long Beach Method" of desalinating
seawater. This Method, developed by Long Beach engineers, is 20
to 30 percent more energy efficient than traditional
desalination methods.
The South Pacific island Kingdom of Tonga is located in Western
Polynesia. Its nearest neighbor is Fiji to the west and the
Samoas to the north. Western Polynesia includes the islands of
Tonga, Samoa, Niue, Tuvala and Tokelau. Tonga is one of the
world's few remaining constitutional monarchies. It is the only
South Pacific island never to have been colonized by a foreign
power. The country preserves its ancient traditions alongside
modern policies designed to stimulate economic development.
Tonga's population is 110,000.
