WATER SECURITYthrough...

• Strengthened resilience to climate

change

• Increased service coverage and

sustainability

• Increased access to water and sanitation

• Reduced risk to climate change

• Strengthened enabling environment for

service delivery

• Strengthened analysis and use of climate

data

products

• Translated warnings and

forecasts into five local

languages (Waray, Hiligaynon,

Bisaya, Chabacano & Pilipino)

• Conducted surveys on

stakeholder satisfaction with

• Twinning between Albay and Leyte Provinces to establish the

PDRRMO, update DRR plans and operation manuals, and build the

office

IMPROVE CAPACITY OF DECISION MAKERS TO

UTILIZE WATER RESOURCE AND CLIMATE

DATA

• Twinning with Florida Water and Climate Alliance

- Vulnerability assessments using downscaled climate change projections and hydrological vulnerability assessments

- Climate resilient business plans and emergency response plans

• Twinning with Seattle Public Utilities on water demand management

DISTRICTS (COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE)

REDUCING HYDROLOGICAL RISKS AND

IMPROVING ADAPTATION


11/23/2016 15

• Downscaled climate projections and produced climate hazard maps for Leyte, and Iloilo, CDO and Zamboanga Cities (through Manila Observatory)

• Produced vulnerability assessments of water resources for Tacloban, Iloilo, CDO and Zamboanga Cities (through Geoscience Foundation)

• Produced vulnerability maps for Tacloban, Iloilo, CDO and Zamboanga Cities (MO)

• Organized validation workshops

DOWNSCALED CLIMATE PROJECTIONS FOR ILOILO

11/23/2016 18

• Conducted participatory

vulnerability and capacity

assessments and hazard

mapping in Leyte and Iloilo,

CDO, Zamboanga and

Cotabato Cities

• Representatives from the

barangays, city government,

senior citizens, youth, women,

people with disabilities, media,

academe, NGOs

PROMOTING

PARTICIPATION AND

INCLUSIVENESS

• Used climate info to develop/improve CCA/DRR Plans in Basilan, Tacloban, Ormoc and Iloilo

• Helped incorporated these plans into the Comprehensive Land Use Plans of CDO, Cotabato and Zamboanga Cities


DEVELOPMENT PLANNING INFORMED BY

CLIMATE INFORMATION

IMPROVING CAPACITY FOR LONG-TERM

WATER RESOURCES SECURITY


• Conducted training to help stakeholders use climate change projections to develop action plans with CCA/DRR for three river basins in Iloilo (with the Iloilo Watershed Management Council)

• Conducted training on Water Evaluation and Planning for IWRM

Water demand management

introduced to promote water

conservation and efficiency.

• Product labeling of water

fixtures

• Water audits to measure

losses

• Mainstreaming of WDM in

plumbing courses

• WDM included in Water

Code

• Repaired water systems damaged by Typhoon Yolanda and

developed systems in Maguindanao

• Used climate resilient techniques informed by climate

projections (able to withstand high winds, floods, etc.)

CLIMATE RESILIENT REPAIRS AND

RENOVATIONS OF WATER SYSTEMS

24

• Used climate change projections to determine river discharge for water sources

• Used climate change projections for long term mitigation measures (project flood level, river discharge)

• Used climate projections for a hydrology study to build an impounding dam to serve Zamboanga City

• Improved the quality of climate

and weather data and ability of

people to use it

• Used climate projections,

hazard maps, vulnerability

assessments to help partners

develop better plans and

adaptation actions

• Promoted water demand

management to make better

use of the water we have

• All focused on increasing

future water security
