The Davao City Water District (DCWD) has been using groundwater for almost 50 years. There is an urgent need to look for a sustainable and alternative water source to limit the extraction of groundwater and allow the aquifers to rest. Moreover, the water demand of Davao City is rapidly increasing due to population growth and urbanization, thus the need to augment the water supply of the DCWD with the available use of both sustainable surface water and groundwater sources, protecting it from environmental degradation, land subsidence, and saltwater intrusion.
Why do we need the project?
