The Manila Water Model – Community Engagement with Water Utility Management

Manila Water Utility Infrastructure Management

In the mid-90s the Philippine Government recognized that they had a national water crisis on their hands.

Cape Town, South Africa is facing a very dire situation due to a three-year-long mega-drought.
