THE Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) called for support to help secure the future of water resources in the Philippines, especially in far-flung areas that lack water supply and services. In a sideline interview during the forum dubbed 'Every Drop Counts: A High-Level Dialogue for a Water-Secure Country” that was held on Monday in Parañaque
THE Local Water Utilities Administration called for support to help secure the future of water resources in the Philippines, especially in far-flung areas that lack water supply and services.
The top official attributed the ensuing problem on limited availability of this very basic necessity to the worsening water leakage problem nationwide due to old pipes and meters, poor water collection, and illegal connection, among others. In fact, he cited that around 448 million metric tons of water are being lost annually.
For him, proper funding in the resolve of bringing down the country’s NRW to the global level could trickle down to the remedy of other related issues. “For now, we’re doing the housekeeping. We mitigate bureaucracy, as much as possible zeroing in on the red tape. Fast implementation of projects is very important,” Ong said. ”Like I told to myself, ‘It’s not business as usual because we really have an emergency for water.’ So work must not slow down.”
