| Summary: | The metropolitan waterworks and sewerage
system (MWSS) services the water supply and sewerage
requirements of Metro Manila including the Province of Rizal
and parts of Cavite, an area composed of the estimated 15
million residents in one of the fast growing urban centers
in the world. In order to secure the water supply for Metro
Manila, some alternative water sources, that is Laguna Lake,
Wawa, Kaliwa, Kanan, and Agos rivers, and others have been
identified and studied since 1970s. In view of this, the
MWSS has requested to the World Bank Group for the technical
assistance to identify the alternative water sources to meet
growing water demand in Metro Manila. The study was started
in July 2011 to: (a) review previously executed studies and
proposals for developing alternative water sources; (b)
assess non-revenue water (NRW) reduction projects; and (c)
provide updated and comprehensive advice to support water
security enhancing initiatives in Metro Manila. The study
was completed in July 2012 and the final report was
submitted to MWSS and the World Bank. In this context, this
report is organized as follows: chapter one gives
introduction; chapter two presents socio-economic condition
of study area; chapter three presents current water supply
system and development; chapter four presents review and
update of water demand projection; chapter five focuses on
alternative water sources; and chapter six presents road map. |
