| A man walks through Spring tide floodwaters to his home in the taisala. On the over populated Fogafale islet, Funafuti atoll, the 'borrow pits' have become squatter settlements for outer-islanders, the land is leased and homes are constructed with whatever materials can be found. Waste management on the islet is a constant struggle for the kaupule, the town council in the absence modern systems to deal with modern waste, let alone people who are forced to live in these areas. |
