Palau
is noted for its diving and water sports. This photo of a lagoon at the Quest Resort
site shows the clarity of the water and the beauty of the coral.

One of the biggest design
challenges was planning the utility systems for this undeveloped island. To minimize
impact to the ecology, all of the utilities on the island will be located under the
walkways. Power and fiber optic communications service will be brought to the island
through an armored submarine cable from main island. The underwater route was
carefully planned to protect the coral. Water filtration and wastewater treatment
will be done in an underground facility on the island. |
