  abstract = {{T}here are many islands in the humid tropical regions of the world, most of which belong to developing nations. {I}slands, especially small oceanic islands, are unique in many ways. {I}sland water resources are often very limited. {M}any have no surface water resources and rely on limited groundwater resources in the form of thin fresh water lenses. {T}he exposure of islands makes them particularly vulnerable to cyclones, storm surges and droughts. {T}his paper examines some of the major hydrological and water resources issues of small islands. {T}he main topics discussed are fresh water occurrence, the water balance, water resource assessment, water use, and water resource development and management. {A}pproaches to resolving some of the major problems are provided.},
