Senator Grace Poe renews her call for the creation of a separate water department in government. | BPinlacINQ
She had previously filed Senate bill number 102 titled ‘Water Resource Management Act’ for this purpose.
The measure states the proposed water department will serve as the primary policy, planning, coordinating, implementing, monitoring and administrative entity of the executive branch of government. It will also take charge of the strategic allocation of water resources to make them more widely available.
As for the WRMO, Poe says, “As it works out long-term solutions, the new body should address the need of the hour, which is water flowing from the tap.”“Taun-taon naman ang tag-init. Dapat nagkaroon na ng mahusay na plano at implementasyon para masigurong hindi mauubusan ng tubig ang bawat grupo,” she added.
