1 Water Security in the Philippines Water Security in the Philippines Snapshots from the Water Security for Resilient Economic Growth and Stability (Be Secure) Project 24 February 2016

2 Vulnerabilities: Typhoons and Floods Tracks of Pacific Typhoons from 1851-2005 2013 and 2014 - the Philippines was #1 for disaster-related displacements – mainly due to typhoons and flooding

3 Vulnerabilities: Conflict 2013: 120,000+ people displaced during Zamboanga Siege 2015: 220,000 people were displaced in Mindanao due to on-going conflict.

4 Vulnerabilities: Drought

5 Vulnerabilities: Institutional Fragmented and weak regulatory framework 25+ agencies with water resource management functions and overlapping mandates No single lead agency in charge of water sector policy making/coordination/regulation No water use planning or allocation setting Lack of reliable water resource data

6 Non-Revenue Water 2011: very badly impacted by Typhoon Sendong Lost service wells and infrastructure Insufficient service coverage and hours Need for more water supply 53% Non-revenue water (NRW) rate Future CC projections for reduced rainfall + = NRW Project

7 Climate Downscaling

8 Water Demand Management

9 Climate Action Plans Data Assessment/Gathering: Water supply, availability, gaps, population growth, etc Climate Vulnerability Assessment: Desktop and with Mentors Water District Climate Action Plan: Key vulnerabilities identified Budgeted Actions: NWR, impoundments, water supply expansion, etc

10 Continued Challenges Data (access to and use of) Attention usually on water excess events (typhoons) Lack of planning for water resources or allocations Inequitable access – especially in conflict areas Lack of access to water efficient products Water as a part of the national agenda
