The vice chairman of the House Committee on Metro Manila Development urged MWSI and MWC to prepare for the El Niño phenomenon that could potentially put Metro Manila and neighboring provinces at risk of another devastating water shortage.
THE vice chairman of the House Committee on Metro Manila Development urged Maynilad Water Services Inc. and Manila Water Co. to prepare for the El Niño phenomenon that could potentially put Metro Manila and neighboring provinces at risk of another devastating water shortage.
“Our worry is that even if the forthcoming El Niño would be less harsh than what we experienced in 2019, Metro Manila might still be vulnerable to a severe water scarcity simply because demand has since increased,” the lawmaker added. Angat supplies 90 percent of Metro Manila’s potable water and irrigates 25,000 hectares of farmland in Central Luzon.
