Presentation: How to Finance the Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Master Plan? - Fifth Roundtable on Financing Water - Mr. Roderick M. Planta
Water Resources Management Financing in Philippine
This document summarizes the key findings of a study on water resource management (WRM) financing in the Philippines. It finds that WRM financing is fragmented across many agencies and subsectors, with inadequate levels of funding. Total WRM financing from 2006-2010 was $10.5 billion, with the largest shares going to water, sanitation and irrigation projects. Financing needs for 2012-2016 are estimated at $3.4 billion. Issues identified include the lack of coordinated planning and budgeting for WRM. The document recommends developing a comprehensive WRM financing framework and monitoring system to address these issues.

The document summarizes key conditions for implementing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), as presented in a lecture by Dr. Basharat Mushtaq. Some important conditions include having political will and commitment across levels to unite stakeholders; developing a basin management plan and clear vision; establishing participation and coordination mechanisms to share information; building capacity at all levels; creating flexible and enforceable legal frameworks; developing water allocation plans; ensuring adequate long-term investment and cost recovery; maintaining good knowledge of natural resources in the basin; and conducting comprehensive monitoring and evaluation. River Basin Organizations are also discussed as a way to help coordinate IWRM across boundaries through information sharing and integrated approaches.

The document summarizes the Mekong River Commission's Strategic Environmental Assessment of hydropower development plans in the Lower Mekong Basin. Over 100 dams are planned or under development, which could have major social and environmental impacts. The SEA process aimed to evaluate these cumulative impacts but lacked decision-making authority. However, it did convey international concerns and initiated open discussion. It also helped certain ministries gain influence in the national decision-making process. While the SEA could not halt projects like the Xayabury dam, it demonstrated how scientific assessments can shape governance and democratize decision processes regarding transboundary river development.Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in Mali
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.

This document outlines a research project on groundwater governance in the Arab world. It will examine challenges of groundwater overdraft and regulation through country profiles, analyses of 4 problem aquifers, and stakeholder dialogues. The objectives are to contribute solutions to the groundwater crisis, enhance governance capacity, and share knowledge. Problem aquifers discussed are the Cap Bon aquifer in Tunisia experiencing sea water intrusion, the Beqaa Valley aquifer in Lebanon impacted by individual wells, the Azraq Basin aquifer in Jordan with abstraction exceeding safe yields, and the Liwa Oasis aquifer in the UAE with competing agriculture and tourism uses.
Status of Groundwater Resources Governance Sudan: Nubian Sandstone Project
Groundwater resource contributes with 17 % of the national water resources volume and with 76 % in the domestic use.
Madras chamber industrialwater091113 pranab kumar majumdar
India has only 4% of the world's water resources but 16% of the global population, resulting in challenges for industrial water management. Current industrial water use is about 13% of total fresh water withdrawn and is projected to grow 4% annually. There is rampant water use and waste water disposal, exacerbated by a lack of enforcement of policies. Multiple government bodies regulate different aspects of water management but there is insufficient coordination between them. This has led to overuse of water resources, severe water pollution, and depletion of groundwater supplies. Solutions proposed include implementing aquifer policies, emphasizing recycling and reuse through regulations and incentives, exploring desalination, and improving coordination among ministries and regulators.

The document discusses stakeholder engagement for the development of Phase II Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) in the Piedmont region of Virginia. It notes the region includes urban, suburban and rural areas across three counties draining into three major tributaries of the James River. Focus groups were held with local governments, permit holders, economic development groups, and others. Key feedback included a desire for accurate local data, flexibility to craft local responses, and concern over costs. Moving forward, strong local partnerships and scaled planning will be important, protecting healthy local waters while providing tools and guidance for Phase II WIP development and implementation.

The document summarizes groundwater pricing policies in Thailand. It discusses how Thailand adopted groundwater pricing in 1984 to regulate extraction through permits and user charges. However, enforcement was a challenge due to lack of monitoring and issues such as small private users being difficult to control. The document analyzes how economic instruments can be used alongside regulatory bans to manage groundwater sustainably and achieve optimal resource allocation, but poor design and implementation of policies can hinder their objectives.

The document discusses water policy and management in the Caucasus region. It notes the difficulties in involving local stakeholders and lessons learned. Key challenges include a lack of integrated management, weak coordination between government institutions, insufficient funding and resources for monitoring water ecosystems, and limited participation of civil society and local communities in decision making. Stronger stakeholder involvement is needed for developing and implementing integrated water resource management plans at the local level.Analysis of the AWDO Survey, Japan Water Forum
The document summarizes an analysis of a survey on water governance in the Asia-Pacific region. It points out that the survey effectively captured key features and identified areas for improvement, such as implementation levels, human and financial resources, integrity practices, and economic instruments. These issues can help governments, organizations, and other stakeholders better address water governance. The document also recommends adding a focus on water-related disasters like floods, citing relevant OECD and HELP documents. It suggests considering the goals of the Yangon Declaration to double regional infrastructure and community investments in water security. Filling gaps requires capacity development at all levels and establishing communication networks.

The UPGRo Programme provides funding for research partnerships between academic researchers and field practitioners focused on groundwater and international development. It requires multi-disciplinary approaches and knowledge dissemination. The featured project examines the 20-40% failure rate of rural handpumps in developing countries within 2 years, representing a $1.2 billion cumulative cost. The project analyzes failed pumps, boreholes and water quality across sites to identify symptoms, causal factors and underlying conditions contributing to supply failures. Common issues found include low water pH and quality from galvanized iron materials, inappropriate borehole designs, and lack of community maintenance capacity. Deeper underlying root causes include entrenched practices in implementing agencies, lack of technical capacity and understanding of local ground
8.3 Subnational adaptation
The document discusses LoCAL, a mechanism for financing climate adaptation at the local level. It describes how local authorities face funding and capacity gaps to contribute to climate adaptation efforts. LoCAL aims to address this through Performance-Based Climate Resilience Grants that guarantee funding and verification of local adaptation expenditures. The grants are channeled through national fiscal systems and include conditions, performance measures, and an eligible investment menu. LoCAL also includes annual reviews and capacity building to help local authorities access climate finance and strengthen their budgeting and planning systems.

Water Acquis in the EU
1) The document discusses the status of implementation of EU water policies in member countries. It focuses on the Water Framework Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
2) Based on 2009 data, only 43% of water bodies showed good ecological status, short of the 53% target for 2015. Progress has been modest and more integrated implementation is still needed.
3) Regarding the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, collection systems are largely in place but some EU-13 countries still need to meet obligations for secondary/biological treatment, especially in sensitive areas. Compliance in large cities has improved but work remains for sensitive areas.

This document summarizes the results of a study on whether current land and water governance systems in sub-Saharan Africa are suitable for promoting sustainable and equitable large-scale agricultural investments. The study analyzed systems in 6 countries and found that in all countries, land and water are governed separately without coordination. Within countries, multiple inconsistent property rights regimes exist. The study also found a lack of clarity and enforcement of water access and use rights for investments. It concludes that coordinated land and water governance systems are needed that recognize all rights, have clear planning, pricing, and dispute resolution, and improve legal and institutional reforms and monitoring.Water Users’ Associations (WUAs/BCWUAs) - Meet Yazid Area

This document summarizes the key findings of a study on land and water governance systems in promoting sustainable large-scale agricultural investments in sub-Saharan Africa. The study analyzed 6 countries and found that land and water are governed by separate policies and institutions. Within frameworks, multiple property rights regimes exist. The volume of water extracted by investments is typically not specified. Monitoring of environmental and social impacts is lacking due to limited funding and capacity. Coordinated systems would integrate land and water administration, recognize existing rights, include planning, pricing and taxation, and resolve disputes through accessible institutions.DAFNE case study on the Zambezi river basin
1) The document describes the DAFNE project, which aims to develop a decision-analytic framework to explore the water-energy-food nexus in the Zambezi River Basin.
2) The framework will analyze and quantify trade-offs between sectors like hydropower production, irrigation, and conservation under different scenarios.
3) It will use integrated modeling of natural and socioeconomic factors, as well as stakeholder engagement, to identify and evaluate alternative development pathways for the basin.
26 how the slope of land affects the amount of soil carried away
The document is a set of educational materials about soil erosion from the Department of Education of the Philippines. It contains three key points:
1) An experiment shows that the steeper the slope of land, the more soil is carried away by running water due to erosion. The slope of land, amount of rainfall, and presence of plants affect the erosion of soil by running water.
2) Over millions of years, erosion by wind and water wears away rocks and soil from mountains, eventually turning them into level plains. It also forms valleys by cutting through plateaus and rounding their tops.
3) Applying their new understanding, students learn that more trees should be planted on lands with gentler slopes to prevent soil
Slope Movement
The document discusses slope processes and landslides in Pakistan. It provides details on different types of slope movements including rock falls, landslides, rotational slips, mudflows, solifluction, and soil creep. It also discusses factors that affect slope processes such as rock type, geological structure, climate, tectonic activity, vegetation, and human activities like construction. Stabilizing slopes can be done through planting vegetation, improving drainage, using wire nets and stakes, and reducing gradients.

1) An experiment shows that the steeper the slope of land, the more soil is carried away by running water due to erosion. The slope of land, amount of rainfall, and presence of plants affect the erosion of soil by running water.
2) Over millions of years, erosion by wind and water wears away rocks and soil from mountains, eventually turning them into level plains. It also forms valleys by cutting through plateaus and rounding their tops.
3) Applying their new understanding, students learn that more trees should be planted on lands with gentler slopes to prevent soil
Slope Movement
The document discusses slope processes and landslides in Pakistan. It provides details on different types of slope movements including rock falls, landslides, rotational slips, mudflows, solifluction, and soil creep. It also discusses factors that affect slope processes such as rock type, geological structure, climate, tectonic activity, vegetation, and human activities like construction. Stabilizing slopes can be done through planting vegetation, improving drainage, using wire nets and stakes, and reducing gradients.
Watershed management
A watershed is defined as the area of land where all surface water drains into a common body of water such as a stream, river, lake, or ocean. Within a watershed, stormwater runoff is affected by human activities like development, agriculture, and mining. Watersheds are important because actions within the watershed can impact downstream water quality. Watershed management aims to control runoff, utilize water resources, and protect land and water quality within a watershed. Various structures are used in watershed management like contour bunds, terracing, check dams, and percolation ponds.
Characteristics of Watershed
CHARACTERISTICS OF WATERSHED: size, shape; physiography, slope, climate, drainage, land use, vegetation, geology and soils, hydrology and hydrogeology, socio-economic characteristics, basic data on watersheds.
Presentation watershed

Budget Allocation Assessment for Water Resources Project in Thailand Using GI...
This document summarizes a study that assessed the appropriateness of water budget allocation among Thailand's 25 major river basins using a GIS-based water poverty index (WPI). The study found that basins like Mae Nam Pattani, Mae Nam Kok, and Mae Nam Mun had lower WPI scores, reflecting higher water shortage, but were allocated less budget per capita compared to other basins. Thus, water budget allocation was inconsistent with levels of water poverty between basins. The study developed a WPI for each basin based on factors of resources, access, capacity, use, and environment. GIS was used to analyze sub-factors for each basin and display water shortage levels according to the WPI ratings.

The document discusses water resources systems planning and management. It identifies the key components of a water resources system as the natural river subsystem, socio-economic subsystem, and administrative/institutional subsystem. The objectives of water resources planning and management are to identify how the finite water resources can best be used in a sustainable manner to meet increasing demands. Planning approaches can be top-down or bottom-up, with integrated water resources management (IWRM) involving all stakeholders. Technical, economic, financial, and institutional aspects must all be considered in planning and management.

The document discusses the proposed General Water Act in El Salvador. It aims to regulate comprehensive management of water resources. The Environmental and Natural Resources Agency (MARN) would be responsible for formulating water policy, promoting education on water usage, managing water resource projects, and protecting water resources. However, the act has several issues that need addressing, including limited citizen involvement, uncertainty if MARN has the capacity and capabilities to handle all water functions, and lack of transparency in how MARN will report its actions. The newsletter calls for citizens to get involved to ensure the act prevents misuse and scarcity of the limited water resources.

Putting hydropower and renewables in context
This document summarizes a project assessing the potential role of renewables in power supply in the Mekong region. It finds that renewables have significant technical potential, including over 90 GW from solar, wind, geothermal, small hydro and biomass. However, renewables face barriers to wider deployment. Hydropower currently plays a major role in centralized grid systems, while renewables are smaller-scale and connected to distribution networks. High renewable penetration will require technologies like gas or hydropower that can respond quickly to output variations. While not direct substitutes, hydropower and renewables could complement each other, with hydropower helping to integrate variable renewables. Realizing their synergies would require changes to institutional
