“…Thus, the results of flow extraction through remote sensing data produce data that is in accordance with the conditions in the field and can be used as a method of extracting flow patterns (Figure 6). Volcanic islands have a characteristic river flow pattern in the form of radial centrifugal, while non-volcanic islands have different river flow patterns, such as dendritic [17]. This also includes the case of Tidore and Hiri Island where both islands have radial centrifugal river flow patterns.…”

Tidore and Hiri Islands in North Maluku Province is the result of a complex tectonic setting. In contrast with Ternate Island and its well-known volcano, Gamalama volcano, there is still a lack of research about volcanic information or volcanic landform in Tidore and Hiri Islands. Even though the two islands also have volcanoes, i.e., Hiri and Tidore/Kiematubu volcano. This study aims to provide geomorphological information, especially in Tidore and Hiri Islands, since this information is hard to find whereas it is very important to disaster mitigation and landuse planning. We used remote sensing images, digital elevation models (DEM), and geological maps to classify geomorphological information of the small island of Tidore and Hiri in the North Maluku based on geomorphological aspects, i.e., morphology, morphogenesis, morpho-chronology, and morpho-arrangement. As a volcanic island, the slope in Tidore and Hiri Island is dominated by a slightly steep (8°-16°) and a steep slope (16°-35°), while the relief is dominated by hills and mountainous. Volcanic landforms on Tidore and Hiri Islands are characterized by relatively symmetrical cone-shaped volcanic cones, which are accumulations of falling pyroclastic material and lava ejected from magma vents. Volcanic islands include the case of Tidore and Hiri Island have radial centrifugal river flow patterns. The material on Tidore and Hiri Islands is dominated by Holocene volcanic rocks. In Tidore, there is alluvial material on the west and east coasts of the island. This study result also can be developed into more detailed geomorphological maps, or landscape evolution in a volcanic island, or spatial planning.

“…In order to study the water resources in the volcanic islands is necessary to understand geological processes and structures involved in the hydrological cycle. The initial permeability of young volcanic terrains affects dramatically the behavior and typology of islands' water resources [15]. The availability of groundwater from storage in Small Island is influenced by the size of the island, recharge patterns and a wide spectrum of geological conditions and recharge processes on small islands are largely influenced by rainfall, evapotranspiration, vegetation, and soil [16].…”

“…Oceanic islands have common patterns with respect to water resources with certain specific features, due among other reasons to (i) geological age, (ii) typology of the volcanic island, (iii) average altitude and orography, (iv) type of vegetation, (v) geographical location, (vi) volcanic constituent materials, and (vii) average rainfall (Santamarta et al, 2014). This common origin means that similar solutions may be found to problems shared by the islands, such as guaranteeing water supply, erosion control and soil conservation, as well as safety from major floods and landslides (Hughes & Malmqvist, 2005).…”

A review of the methods of obtaining water in the Canary Islands (Spain) is presented, dividing the islands into two groups: the eastern islands and the western islands. This division is due to the different origins of water resources, with western islands using mainly underground sources, while the eastern ones main source is seawater desalination. Water sources define the way in which water is obtained, as well as the energy expenditure to obtain it. In this review, the energy consumption of different methods of drinking water collection is studied, as well as the resources that make up the energy mix in the Canary Islands. In addition, a projection is made for drinking water consumption and energy consumption related to water use in the archipelago up till the year 2035, in order to observe the expected trends in these sectors.
