She is a prominent personality in international environmental law and has received numerous awards and citations for her work. ; The Administrator’s Story on Water Security... ater Security has a soul. It is neither a concept nor a W slogan. It is a call to solid action. Just as it is infrastructure, so too is it policy. But more, much more than all that, it is passion to keep balance an intergenerational resource basic to man. MWSS is central to Water Security in Mega Manila. It desperately tries to keep that balance, that delicate life- equilibrium that can only be achieved with heart. Agencies must not only understand but also embrace the basic truth that such imbalance fundamentally “widens the gap even more between the rich and the poor, the developed and the underdeveloped.” Core to Water Security is environment; the reality of climate change; the impact of MWSS’ implementation or non- implementation of infrastructure; in-depth review and updating of policies and simulations used for decades; technology and methods; the synergy of agencies, both private and public.

  • Implications for Collaborative Governance and Management of the Angat River Basin, Philippines
    INTEGRATED RIVER MANAGEMENT MODELS: IMPLICATIONS FOR COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE ANGAT RIVER BASIN, PHILIPPINES by THERESA ASLIN FRESCO B.A., The University of The Fraser Valley, 2005 A PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS (PLANNING) in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES School of Community and Regional Planning We accept this project as conforming to the required standard ...................................................... ..................................................... ..................................................... THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2012 © Theresa Aslin Fresco, 2012 ABSTRACT As the main municipal water source for Metro Manila’s 12 million residents, supplier of irrigation water to 26,791 hectares of farmland in Pampanga and Bulacan provinces, flood control for downstream municipalities and provider of 10% of the nation’s hydroelectricity, the Angat River Basin is of prime socioeconomic importance to Luzon, the central island and economic centre of the Philippines. According to the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), the Manila Waterworks and Sewerage Board (MWSS) and the National Power Corporation (NPC), future water requirements for domestic, commercial and industrial purposes on Luzon Island show remarkable increases. In addition to the challenges of climate change, longer droughts and intense weather events, the already stressed Angat River is projected to face increased water demand due to rural to urban migration into Metro Manila, projected doubling of population in Bulacan Province in the next decade, increased industrialization and increased demand for hydroelectricity. Given the complexity, breadth of competing uses and interrelated nature of natural systems such as river basins, collaborative governance has been an effective strategy to grapple with the challenges of fragmented and siloed agencies dealing with water management.

  • Angat Multipurpose Reservoir with Increased Water Demand and Future Reservoir Sedimentation
    32 G. Q. Tabios III DLSU Business & Economics Review 28(2018), pp. 32-39 RESEARCH ARTICLE Angat Multipurpose Reservoir with Increased Water Demand and Future Reservoir Sedimentation Guillermo Q. Tabios III Institute of Civil Engineering and National Hydraulic Research Center, University of the Philippines at Diliman, Quezon City and National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines [email protected] Abstract: The Angat Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir serving competing uses for Metro Manila’s domestic water supply and Bulacan’s Angat-Maasim River irrigation system with a privatized hydropower generation component. This study assesses the reliability of Angat Reservoir operations to deliver these demands with an increased domestic water supply requirement from 46 to 50 m3/sec and with future reservoir sedimentation in 2050. A reservoir optimization-simulation model is employed to simulate daily reservoir operations with long- term generated inflows from a watershed model. Then, the resulting daily reservoir releases for each scenario are subjected to flow duration analysis in the context of reliability analysis to assess the competing water uses of Angat Reservoir. Keywords: Competing water uses, reservoir optimization-simulation, reliability analysis, reservoir sedimentation JEL Classifications: C61, O21 and Q25 The Angat Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir Competing Uses of Angat Reservoir by Its serving Metro Manila’s domestic water supply needs Physical Configuration and Water Rights under the Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage (MWSS) and Bulacan’s irrigation demand for about The Angat Reservoir system has essentially 24,000 hectares of riceland in the Angat-Maasim competing uses by virtue of its physical configuration River Irrigation System (AMRIS) under the National and water rights allocation for the different water uses.

    04 OCTOBER 2020, SUNDAY Headline STRATEGIC October 04, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR eyes more trash traps in Calabarzon rivers Rhodina Villanueva (The Philippine Star) - October 4, 2020 - 12:00am MANILA, Philippines — Forty-two additional trash traps will be established along major rivers in Cavite, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas in line with the Manila Bay rehabilitation program. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Calabarzon regional office said it allotted P16.8 million for the establishment of 20 trash traps in Cavite, 10 in Rizal, nine in Laguna and three in Batangas. The trash traps are expected to be completed next year. “The DENR-Calabarzon’s plan to put up trash traps in tributaries and rivers draining to Manila Bay aims to prevent waste from entering the bay... Residents should view the trash trap as a reminder of how irresponsible handling of wastes can harm our environment,” DENR regional executive director Nonito Tamayo said. DENR-Manila Bay Site Coordinating and Management Office deputy regional coordinator Cynthia Rozaldo said two trash traps were established along the Imus River in Dasmariñas, Cavite and Hinulugang Taktak River in Antipolo, Rizal in 2014. In 2018, four trash traps were constructed in Labac River in Naic, Cavite and two in San Diego River in Nagcarlan, Laguna. Four more trash traps were put up along Zapote River in Bacoor, Cavite; two in San Cristobal River in Calamba, Laguna; one each in San Juan and Saran Rivers in Calamba and Los Baños, Laguna, respectively; three in Boso-Boso River in Baras, Rizal, and two in Taytay River in 2019 and this year.
