Turning Seawater into Drinking Water for Tongans w/ Oxfam's Carlos Calderon: January 26, 2022

The Tongan volcanic eruption was a significant disaster that has left many Tongans without safe drinking water. Now, desalination units from 2014 are getting back into action, with Oxfam and Open Oceans working together to purify salty water and make it drinkable. I spoke to Carlos Calderon from Oxfam Aotearoa about these desalination units as well as the overall recovery effort in Tonga.
