Country Monitoring Indicators Description

Philippines 1. Percentage of population having access to piped drinking water

In the Philippines, the extent of water supply and coverage and population access to safe drinking water and sanitation services cannot be fully ascertained as monitoring systems and linkages still to be strengthened or developed. Based on estimates made by Moore (2006), out of the 80% water supply coverage only 76 % are having piped connections, On the other hand, Worldbank Report (2005) showed that the population with formal access to safe drinking water is around 79% distributed as follows: 44% with individual house connections, 10% with shared connections through communal faucets and 25% relying on shared point sources without distribution. The extension of coverage has not kept pace with the growing population in the last few decades. According to the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation of UNICEF and WHO, access to an improved source of water supply actually decreased from 87% in 1990 to 85% in 2004. In order to address the MDG targets on access to potable water supply the Philippine Water Supply Roadmap was formulated that identified short and long term programs/plans. As regards to the availability of updated and validated information and baseline data on water supply coverage, a sector assessment study is currently being conducted.

3. Per capita domestic water consumption

Generally 18 – 24 hours

Currently there is no standard information on the number of hours the different water service providers are operating. It varies depending on the guidelines imposed by regulatory agencies and the condition of water service providers and sources of water supply. For Metro Manila, served by the two private concessionaires (Maynilad and Manila Water) water is being supplied 24 hours a day or less depending on the area being served. In other urban areas, Water District’s water is supply water for less than 24 hours a day. Private water service providers being regulated by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), the water supply hour is only 8 hours however, actual operation could be less.

Variable

In a 2004 sample of 45 water service providers, the NWRB found an average consumption of 118 l/d/c. The highest consumption was recorded in the East Zone of Metro Manila with 232 l/d/c.[26]

In the Philippines the provision of basic water services is the responsibility of various institutions and the consolidation of information on NRW of these water service providers could take time. Available information shows that the estimated NRW of the two concessionaires tasked to serve Metro Manila ranges from 20% to 66%. On the other hand, for provincial urban water services Water Districts’ average NRW is 26%.

Philippines 1. Percentage of irrigated area versus the total potential irrigable area

49% as of 2008The government has undertaken the biggest reform initiative on the irrigation sector for the last 30 years. The government intensified its program on rehabilitation, repair and restoration of irrigation systems. The government through the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is currently undertaking the following programs: Irrigation Sector Restructuring and Reform, to support the implementation of a rationalization plan for NIA and the strengthening of its institutional capacity to deliver efficient irrigation services;Irrigation Infrastructure Development, to improve the delivery of irrigation services in at least 58 selected NISs through rehabilitation with modernization ; and

Project Management and Coordination, to provide support for an efficient coordination, implementation and management of the project, including strengthening the financial management and procurement functions and the establishment and operation of the monitoring and evaluation system for the project. As of December 31, 2008, the total service area developed was 1,519,942 ha or 49% of the estimated potential irrigable area of 3,126,340 ha. Of this area, 748,593 ha are under NIS, 554,020 ha in CIS and 217,329 ha in private irrigation systems (PIS). The remaining potential area to be developed is still 1,607,073 ha. The estimated potential irrigable area those primarily devoted to rice and corn and up to 3% slope.

Malaysia 2. Percentage of irrigated area versus the total potential irrigable area

3. Percentage of irrigated area with water quantity measuring devices

Irrigation in Malaysia has been directly linked to the nation’s rice industry. The total physical paddy area (irrigated and non-irrigated) in Malaysia is about a 26,400 hectares in 2008. About 236,600 hectares or 55 per cent of the total paddy areas in the country are provided with extension irrigation and drainage facilities while the remaining are rain-fed areas.

Of the irrigated areas, 204,370 hectares in Granary Areas which have irrigation canal intensity of more than 18 m/ha and the government target to increase canal intensity to 35-45 m/ha providing irrigation canal to tertiary level.

To achieve the country’s rice Self Suffiency Level (SSL) of 90 % the government plan to increase land and water productivity through planning and construction of small dams, reservoirs, diversions structures or pump station. Recycle of water from drainage system and rehabilitate, upgraded of irrigation canals.

Efficient water use requires measurement of the waterused in both gravity and pressurezed systems. 86 per cent of irrigated areas mostly in Granary Areas (204,370 hectares), have some form of water quantity measuring devices placed at strategic locations in both open channels and closed conduits in the irrigation system.

Malaysia 1. Any steps taken to implement Integrated Flood Management (IFM) approaches in the country

Malaysia has taken the Integrated Flood Management (IFM) approach in managing floods. In 2009, a seminar on IFM with the theme “Living with Flood Risks” was jointly organized with WMO, Cap-Net and Malaysia Water Partnership (MyWP) for stakeholders and practitioners in flood management. The purpose of the seminar was to ensure the target group understand the concept of IFM and apply it in solving flood problems. The DID, has taken the elements of IFM in preparing Flood Management Master Plan(FMMP), first by considering the whole river basin in terms of water resources and water cycle. FM measures include structural measures and non structural measures such as flood hazard maps, river corridor management, flood forecasting and flood warning systems. Flood emergency management is already in place. Stakeholders and community interactions before drafting Flood mitigation systems still needs improvement.

3. Any specific financial support programme for controlling water pollutions

YesGenerally funding for controlling water pollutions comes from the government. However, there are agencies like the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) that introduced market-based instrument such as the Environmental User Fee Systems (EUFS) to address environmental problems and generate revenue to help support environmental management programs. The LLDA launched the EUFS in January 1997 covering all enterprises within their jurisdiction that discharges wastewater in the Laguna de Bay system. The EUFS includes commercial/industrial establishments; agro-based industries/establishments (such as swine farms and slaughter houses); clustered dwelling (i.e. residential subdivisions) as well as domestic households. However, EUFS for households is still under development. Other market-based instruments similar to EUFS are already implemented in some areas which generate revenue for supporting environmental management programs. Likewise, the Clean Water Act of 2004 which provides the implementation of a wastewater charge system in all management areas including the Laguna Lake Region and Regional Industrial Centers through the collection of wastewater charges/fees. The system shall be established on the basis of payment to the government for discharging wastewater into the water bodies. The system is now being implemented in the Laguna Lake Region and other areas.

Encouraging private sector investmentRepublic Act No. 6957 of 1990 entitled “An Act Authorizing the Financing, Construction, Operation and Maintenance of Infrastructure Projects by the Private Sector and for Other Purposes,” manifested the government’s policy of greater private sector participation (PSP) in the provision of water and sanitation sector. Example of Private Sector ParticipationBoracay’s Sewerage Facility Boracay is an island in Malay municipality renowned for its beaches that derives its main income from tourism. Triggered by the threat of pollution, the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) intervened and constructed a sewerage facility through a P100 million loan, payable in ten years, from Japanese aid agency OECF. The system was scheduled to be in service through a private operator by 2001. Legislation was passed allowing PTA to charge an Environmental Management Fee to visitors (P25 for foreigners, P10 for Philippine citizens). User fees will also be charged to business establishments and households. The sewerage system was planned to serve about 70 percent of the island’s population, as well as its main tourist areas.

Other ExperiencesSome developers of subdivisions, Export Processing Zones, and other land intended for tenancy are now incorporating sewerage systems as a component, particularly those targeting the high-income market. Operation and maintenance are either supplied by private operators through management contracts or provided in-house using specially trained staff. Tariffs (following the “polluter pays” principle) from all connected establishments are collected monthly to cover the amortization and operating costs of the sewerage system, which usually includes collection, treatment and disposal facilities. Examples of such private systems are found in Mactan Export Processing Zone, Philippine Export Processing Zone in Cavite, Ayala Center, and Ortigas Center.

Yes1988-2000 Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Master Plan (WSSSMP): This plan emphasized the commitment of the national government to provide for the basic needs of the population, especially in depressed areas. WSSSMP was the result of an extensive interagency undertaking that involved DPWH, DILG, NEDA, MWSS, LWUA and NWRB. WSSSMP set the framework and agenda for organized, unified action by policy makers and program implementers, at all levels of the government, to execute and manage water supply, sewerage and sanitation programs and projects throughout the country. WSSSMP was also intended to serve as an example and reference for the private sector and non-government organizations actually or potentially involved in the development of the sub-sector.

1994 National Urban Sewerage and Sanitation Strategy Plan (NUSS). The purpose of the sanitation program was to create a more effective institutional framework to guide policy and institutional reforms; and to propose an appropriate development strategy and investment plan to improve sewerage and sanitation coverage nationally.

The Philippines’ Clean Water Act, passed in 2004, requires the preparation of a National Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP) as part of the country’s overarching National Sustainable Sanitation Plan. The NSSMP was envisioned to provide technology interventions and institutional and financial frameworks to guide local governments, water districts, and other project proponents through the process of developing infrastructure projects for managing wastewater in cities. Stakeholder consultation of the draft National Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP) is currently being undertaken.

YesDENR DAO 34 and 35In 1990, the DENR also issued DAO 34 and 35.

The discharge permit specifies the quantity and quality of effluent that said facilities are allowed to discharge into a particular water body, compliance schedules and monitoring requirements. A self-monitoring report of the company should also be submitted to the EMB. As part of the permitting procedure, the DENR encourages the adoption of waste minimization and waste treatment technologies when such technologies are cost effective. Effluent trading may be allowed per management area.
