Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes challenges in the policy and practices of the various water sectors in the Philippines that have led to water conflicts. Such conflicts arise in the nature of rural-urban competition, trans-administrative boundary issues, and inconsistencies between customary and state rules, and even within state rules. Using inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches, and analysing from various scales - community, local and national governments - the book discusses policies and strategies needed towards achieving water security especially for the poor. Reflective of the complex and urgent water policy and governance issues in many developing countries, the book offers valuable lessons and insights to policy makers, water sector managers, planners and regulators as well as to academics, researchers and students.

This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a number of modeling studies of various water resources systems in the humid tropics and the typical short, steep mountain-to-coast systems in the archipelagic setting of the Philippines. Covering natural and rural systems, urban watersheds and built systems, such as reservoirs and flood control systems, it discusses modeling studies based on pure simulation and combined optimization-simulation. The book offers insights into real-world water resources modeling, and as such is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the Philippines, as well as those in other Asian regions with similar water resources systems, and similar issues, problems and concerns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philippine Water Supplies The increasing employment of protected Springs as sources Of drinking water is another important contribution to the cause of the improvement Of water supplies. This has been made possible, in a large measure, by the legislative Act quoted above. Many towns now Obtain their drinking waters from springs through excellent distribution systems. By the protection Of watersheds and the construction Of stor age and distribution systems, several rivers have been made the basis of municipal water supplies. Manila installed a new water supply system in 1908, which has had a very beneficial effect on public health. Cebu and Zamboanga also have systems using river water. About 30 towns now have their own water works completed or under construction, and many others have well-developed projects for Obtaining such installations. The construction Of adequate sewage disposal systems has made some progress, though perhaps not as much as has the development of water supplies. Manila, Baguio, and Cebu now have sewer systems. Soon after the American occupation a large Government fac tory for the manufacture Of ice and distilled water was installed. This plant has a daily production Of almost kilograms Of ice and liters Of distilled water, in addition to which it Offers the largest cold storage facilities in the Islands. Similar installations of smaller capacity have been installed elsewhere by the Federal and Insular authorities, and by private enterprise as well, SO that ice and distilled water are now to be Obtained in the principal cities throughout the Islands. How ever, the introduction Of distilled water, though a great benefit, was not far-reaching in its effects because it was used only by the foreign-born or by the wealthy Filipino population. The industry of bottling natural, distilled, and carbonated waters has flourished greatly. Owing to improper and careless methods of handling, bottled waters have not been an unmixed blessing. They, too, are used to a large extent only by the well-to-do, SO that their effect has been restricted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: In common with many other countries, the Philippines faces major challenges to its water supply due to heavy population increase, destruction of tropical rainforest and catchment areas, severe water pollution, excessive extraction of groundwater, and poor resource management. With a view to conserving the nation's water resources, the state has assumed ownership of all water resources and has introduced a system of rationing based on tariffs. But despite all regulatory efforts to achieve a socially conscious but effective system of pricing of water, it has had little success in achieving a system that ensures the goal of sustainable raw water resources in the Philippines. This paper describes the regulatory background and analyses the structure and effectiveness of the pricing mechanism. Conflicting roles of the various water regulating agencies are discussed, and the paper concludes with a description of the current challenges and a call for a more effective pricing mechanism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book includes selected papers that has been published in the Water journal Special Issue (SI) on Water Supply and Water Scarcity. Moreover, an overview of the SI is included. The papers selected for publication in the SI include review and research papers on water history, on water management issues under water scarcity regimes, on rainwater harvesting, on water quality and degradation, and on climatic variability impacts on water resources. Overall, the issue identify and highlight the main challenges in water sector, and particularly in management and protection of water resources and in use of alternative (non-conventional) water resources, especially in areas with demographic change and climate vulnerability in order to achieve sustainable and secure water supply. Furthermore, general guidelines and possible solutions for an improved and sophisticated water management system are proposed and discussed, such as the adoption of advanced technological solutions and practices that improve water-use efficiency and the use of alternative water resources, to address the growing environmental and health issues and to reduce the emerging conflicts among water users.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010, the United Nations, through Resolution No. 64/292, recognized the human right to water and sanitation and its' being essential to the realization of all human rights (United Nations General Assembly 2010). In 2016, water and sanitation were promoted to a full-fledged goal as the Sustainable Development Goal No. 6, to "Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all." The Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 identifies water supply and sanitation (WSS) as essential to "accelerate strategic infrastructure development" (NEDA 2017). Further highlighting this in NEDA's Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan 2019-2030. Finally, though these priorities are global and national, the attainment of 100% access to potable water lies heavily on local government delivery of the devolved water service. Attaining these goals require identifying what kind of good water supply is and looking for the best economic framework for its provision. Water is a complex good. It could be a common resource (the water source) that, if unregulated, would have negative externalities leading to overconsumption. In addition, it could also be a natural monopoly (the process of treating and distributing water) faced with large sunk costs needing some form of regulation to avoid usurious pricing. Also, as a natural monopoly, the optimal provision of potable water might require coordination across local governments because of possible economies of scale across boundaries. This would need coordination and political will. [...].
