The DENR believes the creation of the Water Resources Management Office (WRMO) will help resolve immediate concerns on the impending water crisis, instead of just being a stop-gap measure.
-- The Department of Environment and Natural Resources believes the creation of the Water Resources Management Office will help resolve immediate concerns on the impending water crisis, instead of just being a stop-gap measure.
The WRMO's main priority is to resolve conflicts between water-related government agencies now that they're under one umbrella, the DENR said at the hearing. "Most of the projects would be in the provision of water through deep wells using solar powered pumps," he explained, adding that these could supply water to up to 1,500 people at the barangay level.
The DENR said the role of the NWRB would remain the same and that the responsibilities of the attached agencies would not overlap.
