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.

It is no secret that the US State of California has spent the last hundred years creating a vast system and network of pipes, pump stations, and aqueducts that reach far and wide into distant regions in order to filter water from remote rivers into hard to reach dry zones in the Southern part of the state. It's an engineering marvel, but only so long as the ecosystems they are drawing from can … [Read more...]
