Oh my gosh, our area is now included in water rationing starting tomorrow. Late this afternoon though when our village coordinator announced it, the water pressure was so low. I filled up every container we have here. Good thing we have our overhead tank which provides water inside the house and we have a bypass water outlet at the dirty kitchen and at the garden. I even filled up our small pond which has stayed empty ever since we lost the Koi fish a few years ago.
In some areas here in Metro Manila, they had no water for about a week now. There are scheduled hours which they have to interrupt their distribution but having it back is never on time.
In Cebu which is a part of the Visayas region, farms have become so dry the soil was cracked. I am worried about the coming summer days. Demand for water has become so high and the water levels at Angat Dam and La Mesa Dam are now critical. These dams supply water in Metro Manila.
Water is life. You can survive without electricity but water is a necessity.
