| Issues / Summary | Intervention Updates |
|---|---|
| The Water Security led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and , in their commitment to efficient water management, guarantees optimal water allocation from Angat Reservoir for MWSS. They engage in real-time monitoring and coordination with Angat Technical Working Group (TWG) to ensure effective operations. To further optimize water distribution, they initiate the reallocation of NIA's 2CMS raw water from Angat to Maynilad. In anticipation of water demands, Water Security activates Standby Deepwells and initiates the construction of new ones in the east concession area. In compliance with the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on water rights, they actively enforce regulations and closely monitor water users, ensuring adherence to established guidelines. To uphold a nationwide approach, Water Security coordinates with dam operators across the country, fostering collaboration for effective water resource management. In addition to their proactive measures, the Water Security implements water conservation campaigns, addresses leak repairs, and monitors water wastage specifically in Metro Manila. By adopting a multifaceted strategy, they aim to enhance water sustainability and resilience in the regions they oversee. |
