=// The Island Settlements //=

//** The Island's Transportation, Communication & Energy Sources **// COMMUNICATION Our island will have satellite internet and phone access. Short wave radio systems will be set up in each settlement in order to create strong communication between the settlement. This system can be used to run the rail system, delievery news and organise events. ENERGY SOURCES In the west of the island S.M.I.T.E has decided to install Wind Turbins along the cost lines. The engineers decided this because of the large and strong amount of winds that come from the west. The hydro plantation was decided amoung the group because of the high amount of rain fall and flowing water access that occurs at the higest point of the island. a solar energy field will be found at the north of the island where there is low vegetation allowing for direct sunlight. All the energy will be the transported to the power station in the central settlement and distrubed evenly across the island. TRANSPORTATION A rail/chair lift system will run between settlements to allow the islanders to transport goods and people across the island The rails will run from each settlement to the central settlement (viva) therefore to get from iPuzzle to Ladds you must first travel to Viva. The rail line will run on the energy produced in the island and solar panels on the roof of each chair lift will create more engery. There will be large containers avablible to carry produces to and from the port along the rail system. Within each settlement the transport needs will be determined and decided upon individually.
