Report: Water Pollution in the Philippines (Formal Report Structure)

Based on my research on this topic, it is stated that while water supplies have become

scarce in certain areas and seasons, there is more than enough surface and groundwater in the

Philippines as a whole. Nevertheless, neglecting to provide a coherent environmental policy has

resulted in 58% of the groundwater in the Philippines being polluted. Untreated domestic and

industrial waste water is the principal cause of pollution. Just one third of the river systems in the

Philippines are deemed suitable for public water sources.

It is projected that water supply in most major cities and 8 of the 19 major river basins

will be negligible in 2025. Water contamination, in addition to serious health issues, also leads to

problems in the fishing and tourism industries. The national government has acknowledged the

issue and has tried to implement sustainable management of water supplies since 2004.

A sewer network is linked to just 5 percent of the total population. Flush toilets attached

to septic tanks are used by the vast majority. Due to the unusual occurrence of sludge treatment

and disposal facilities, most effluents are released without treatment. The Pasig River is one of

the most polluted rivers in the world, according to the Asian Development Bank, which flows

through Manila's capital city. Manila Water declared in March 2008 that a waste water treatment

plant will be installed in Taguig. In 2006, the first wetland developed in the Philippines serving

about 700 households was completed in a peri-urban area of Bayawan City that was used to

resettle families who lived in informal settlements along the coast and had no access to clean

water and sanitation facilities.

 In conclusion, Water Pollution in the Philippines is a serious issue that we Filipinos

should be dealing with it properly to ensure a continuing abundance of water that is safe to use

for ourselves and future generations.
