To avert extreme water supply shortage, the Water Resource Management Office (WRMO), a unit under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
TO avert extreme water supply shortage, the Water Resource Management Office , a unit under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources , is pushing for a water conservation measure for the whole Metro Manila and for areas adjacent to the National Capital Region .
As of July 8, 2023, the water level in Angat Dam was at 179.99 meters, which is below the 180-meter minimum operating level. Previous episodes of water supply shortage compel the National Water Resources Board , an office under the DENR, to reduce water allocation for Metro Manila, resulting in massive water supply interruptions in the entire NCR and nearby provinces affecting a population of approximately 12 million water consumers.
WRMO Bulletin 1 was earlier issued pursuant to MC 22 signed by Marcos mandated all government agencies and instrumentalities to strictly implement water conservation measures to prevent a water crisis amid a looming El Niño phenomenon. “As we prepare for even drier conditions due to El Niño, it is, more than ever, important to conserve water in order to prevent massive water interruptions later this year,” the WRMO Bulletin No 2 said.
