safe water is running out!
As far as I have read earlier the science and technology secretary William Padolina has warned that the country would face a national crisis in drinking water, second only in scop to the concren about food supply. Padolina said lack of potable water had already been worrying Metro Manila residents and that the problem was now :building up in crisis prportion" on a nationwide scale.
He said few years from now, a household might soon have to spend 60 percent of its food budget on purchased bottled water "to prevent its members from getting gastrointestinal diseases" Padolina said current efforts at water management were primarily focused on irrigation projects. He admitted that the government still had not taken concrete and comprehensive steps to address the problem on drinking water.
