JICA Master Plan on Water

Resources Management in the

Philippines, 1998

Water Stressed Cities:

PD 424 creating the NWRC

(March 28, 1974)

PD 1067 The Water

Code of the Philippines

(1976)

PD 1206 assigned the

residual functions of the

Board of Waterworks

and the defunct Public

Service Commission to

NWRB (1977)

EO 124-A renamed

NWRC to NWRB;

transferred technical

function to DPWH/BRS

(1987)

EO 123 reconstituted the

NWRB Board; transferring

NWRB to DENR and

transferring regulatory

functions of LWUA to

NWRB (2002)

Policy Formulation and

Coordination

Resource Regulation

Economic Regulation

EO 860 “Redefining the

Composition and Powers of

the NWRB”; Change the

membership of the NWRB

Board”; regulatory function of

WDS back to LWUA;

transferred NWRB to DENR

(2010)

3 Major Functions

The formulation of policies and plans for

the Philippine water sector within the

framework of Integrated Water

Resources Management (IWRM) through

the coordination and integration of

development programs, projects and

activities.

1. Policy & Coordination

The NWRB Mandate

Regulated

No Water

Supply

Unregulated

2. Resource Regulation

The conservation and

protection of all water

resources by regulating

their utilization and

allocation based on

policies consistent with

beneficial use and

sustainable development.

For Livelihood Water

As a Resource

The NWRB Mandate

3. Economic Regulation

The protection of

consumers and the

economic viability of

water utilities by

determining service

standards and targets,

tariff levels and schemes,

monitoring and measuring

company performance,

enforcing compliance, and

imposing sanctions

III. ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

o Rapid urbanization and industrialization

o Indiscriminate land use and development

o Increasing volume of solid wastes,

pollutants and hazardous wastes

o Unabated extraction of groundwater

o Inadequate Water Supply, Sewerage and

Sanitation facilities

oWatershed degradation

Depleting Water Availability and

Deteriorating Water Quality


Philippines is very much vulnerable to climate change

Visited by an average of

19 to 20 Tropical cyclones

EVERY YEAR

Highly susceptible to typhoon-

Located in the Pacific Typhoon Belt Area

Threats of Climate Change

Shortage of water in some areas in the country

during droughts (El Niño)

Flooding incidence and water related disasters (La Niña)

Insufficient water for irrigation

Reduced Streamflow

Typhoon Sendong , 2011

Water Rationing

Typhoon Ondoy, 2009 Habagat, 2012 Typhoon Yolanda, 2013

Fragmented and Sectoral Management

Approach

o Numerous NGAs/institutions working on water

resources management

o Lack of coherence in assigning water related

functions and accountabilities to national

government agencies

o Unclear linkages among water-related national

government agencies, and between various levels

of government

o Perceived overlapping and unclear mandates and

accountabilities relative to water resource

management and development

Proposed Legislative/Executive Agenda

Legislative :

o HB 4597 An Act Instituting Reforms in the Water Industry, Rationalization, Allocation and Distribution of Service Areas, provision of incentives for infrastructure development or for new, clean, efficient and ecological technologies, reorganizing the national water resources board, creating local water supply and sanitation

o Water Regulatory Commission and Water Reform Act

o HB 6505 An Act Instituting a New Water Code and Amending PD 1067

Institutional Reforms and Initiatives

V. Way Forward

V. Way Forward

Legislative :

o HB 2457 entitled “AN ACT RATIONALIZING THE RESOURCE

MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER SECTOR, CREATING THE

DEPARTMENT OF WATER, SEWAGE AND SANITATION, AND

FOR OTHER PURPOSES”-Inclusion of DPWH Bureaus

introduced by Rep Arthur Yap.

o HB No. 4995 creating “DEPARTMENT OF WATER

RESOURCES AND SERVICES”–inclusion of NWRB, LWUA, NIA,

LLDA, PRRC and EMB, introduced by Rep. Estrellita

Suansing.

o HB 8068 entitled “DEPARTMENT OF WATER, IRRIGATION,

SEWAGE AND SANITATION AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT”

introduced by Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

V. Way Forward

Executive:

o Creation of a National Water Resources Management Office to address institutional fragmentation and improved science-based decision making.

The need to create a National Master Plan for Water

“We need a water master plan so we can control water, instead of water controlling us.”-Dr. Ernesto Ordonez

V. Way Forward

Approved NWRB Board Resolutions (recent)

Moratorium on Acceptance of WPA in Boracay

Light-Handed Regulation and its IRR

1. Practice and advocate

water conservation, water

stewardship and other

water management best

practices

2. Develop water

infrastructue through the

PPP.

3. Support legislative actions

e.g. Amendment of the

Water Code of the

Philippines, Creation of

the Dept. Of Water, etc.)

Together, we can make a difference
