8. Facts about water and health
• In 2015, there were 2.4 billion (32%) people who lacked access to
an improved sanitation facility.
• An estimated 663 million (9%) people do not use an improved
source for drinking-water in 2015.

2015 Update and MDG Assessment”, WHO/UNISEF, 2015.
9. Facts about water and health
• 88% of cases of diarrhea are attributable to unsafe water,
inadequate sanitation or insufficient hygiene.
• These cases result in 1.5 million deaths each year, most being the
deaths of children.
• Almost one tenth of the global disease burden could be prevented
by improving water supply, sanitation, hygiene and management
of water resources.

19. Question 1
• What are anticipated problems related to urban water
environment in near future (e.g. 2030)?
◦ Water supply
◦ Sanitation and wastewater management
◦ Water-related disasters
◦ Others
19
20. Urbanization, climate change and water
• Rapid development in urban areas
◦ Increased commercial water demand, decreased green open space,
decreased groundwater recharge, increased flooding
• Population increase
◦ Increased domestic water use and water for food production
◦ Increased wastewater discharge
• Climate change
◦ Less precipitation in dry season
◦ Urban flooding by more frequent and
more intense extreme precipitation events

37. Question 2
• Situation in La Paz
◦ Population is growing rapidly
◦ 1,062,000 (1990), 1,672,000 (2010), 2,308,000 (2030) (UN DESA)
◦ Precipitation: 500 mm/year
◦ Water source: glacier melt water, groundwater (, wastewater)
◦ No wastewater treatment plant in La Paz city
◦ The Choqueyapu River water, heavily contaminated with domestic
wastewater, is used for agriculture in the downstream.
• Unanswered questions
◦ How can we improve this situation?
◦ What should be prioritized in improving the water management
in La Paz and El Alto?

Manila case study: Water quality assessment
◦ The Pasig River water quality will be further deteriorated due to
population increase and climate change (business-as-usual scenario).
◦ Implementing the master plan will improve the situation remarkably
(2030: with measures), but still will not meet the national water
quality standards in some stations in the downstream (Manila Bay and
Jones Bridge).

47. Manila case study: Summary
• The study found that combinations of the countermeasures can mitigate the
change in inundation caused by climate change by roughly 50%.
◦ Structural flood control measures such as river flow capacity improvement,
improved diversion channel regulation and dam construction are important in
reducing the flood inundation.
• In the business-as-usual scenario, flood damage will increase by 212%
compared to the current scenario. And the implementation of combined flood
risk reduction measures will decrease the damage by 35%.
• Incorporating the master plan with enhancing WWTP capacity in the simulation
improved the Pasig River water quality significantly. However, some of the
stations, especially in the downstream, will not comply with the Class B
standards.
◦ It is recommended that local government take additional measures, in
addition to the measures mentioned in the master plan.
• Question 3: How can these scientific knowledge contribute to
policy development?

the WUI research works will be
available in the WUI website.
◦ http://www.water-urban.org/
◦ Summary for Decision Makers will be
