Fiji is developing country north to New Zealand and east of Australia. Fiji has a warm tropical climate perfect for beachside holidays. Maximum temperatures rarely move out of the 31°C (88°F) to 26°C (79°F) range all year round, Fiji is very tropical. Southeast trade winds from March to November bring dry weather and the rainy season runs from December to April. Natural resources include timber, fish, gold, copper, offshore oil, and hydropower. Fiji experienced a period of rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s but stagnated in the 1980s. Sugar exports and a growing tourist industry are the major sources of foreign exchange. Sugar cane processing makes up one third of industrial activity: coconuts, ginger, and copra are also significant. In recent

The island is also very quickly over populating and is contributing to the problem. Because of global warming the water levels have risen and the island lowering of soil and water pH due to acid precipitation and deposition usually through precipitation, this process disrupts ecosystem nutrient flows and may kill freshwater fish and plants dependent on more neutral or alkaline conditions this is a result of acid rain. Acid rain contains harmful levels of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxide. Acid rain is damaging and potentially deadly to the earth's fragile ecosystems, acidity is measured using the pH scale where 7 is neutral, values greater than 7 are considered alkaline, and values below 5.6 are considered acid precipitation; note a pH of 2.4 (the acidity of vinegar). Noxious substances injurious, very harmful to living beings. Poaching is illegal killing of animals or fish, a great concern with respect to endangered or threatened species of the island. Waste materials, such as smoke, sewage, or industrial waste which are released into the environment, subsequently polluting it. Salination the process through which fresh (drinkable) water becomes salt (undrinkable) water; hence, desalination is the reverse process; also involves the accumulation of salts in topsoil caused by evaporation of excessive irrigation water, a process that can eventually render soil incapable of supporting crops.

The island needs a natural water to clean out all the harmful acid rain that is hurting the island's ecosystem and more natural for our that is hurting the island's ecosystem and more natural alkaline. Highlands Water Project is a series of dams constructed jointly by Lesotho and South Africa to redirect Lesotho's abundant water supply into a rapidly growing area in South Africa; while it is the largest infrastructure project in southern Africa, it is also the most costly and controversial, objections to the project include claims that it forces people from their homes, submerges farmlands, and squanders economic resources. That is something the island of Fiji should do to protect its
