THE government must speed up the development of long-term water resources to spare Filipinos from another water crisis, an expert said Tuesday.
FutureWater Asia Chief Executive Officer Dondi Alikpala said that the China-backed New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam project is the only viable long-term solution to the perennial water problems in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.Any further delay in the project's completion may adversely affect the stability of the already dwindling supply, especially in the National Capital Region, he said at the Pandesal Forum held in the Kamuning Bakery in Quezon City.
He said the government also has to address the leakages along the water line to La Mesa Dam, which MWSS Deputy Administrator Jose Dorado recently revealed.Albay Second District Rep. Jose Ma. Clemente 'Joey' Salceda, who chairs the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, said that government regulators should release a transparent inventory of water sources to present the true picture of water supply and demand.
