Solution to Water Problems

The Philippines may be surrounded with water but there’s an enormous problem on enough, clean and safe water, especially for human consumption.

Water.org noted that “out of 101 million Filipinos, nine million rely on unimproved, unsafe and unsustainable water sources and 19 million lack access to improved sanitation.”

“Families without safe water source in or near their home often spend significant time and energy collecting water. Those without a sanitary toilet facility at home face a number of unattractive choices, including venturing out at night or suffering the embarrassment of asking to use the toilet of a neighbor.

Thus, Filipinos consider water and sanitation access a matter of safety, pride, progress and convenience, in addition to the health considerations. While about 75 percent of surveyed Filipinos expressed an interest in a water and sanitation loan, previously few banks or microfinance institutions offered loans specifically tailored to this purpose.”

However, this problem must not left unresolved.

The Possible Solution

The national government can provide and implement solutions to the problem of enough, clean and safe water supply and tapping a private company that’s expert and capable in providing uninterrupted water services to the public may be a best option.

Ecosystem Technologies International, Inc., understands the need to address the high turbidity of water in the country. The company developed a proprietary system that is uninterruptible by the high turbidity conditions. For the past 20 years, Ecosystem provided world class environmental technology solutions and has completed over 600 projects including design, build, rehabilitate, and upgrade wastewater treatment plants for over 100 clients, including the elite businesses of the residential, industrial, and commercial sectors in the Philippines.

Founded by its President and CEO Robert Y. So, Ecosystem is a pioneer in the Philippines of recycling and reuse of contaminated water, holding over 10 patents. The company developed these through constant research, survey, and innovation from technologies all over the world.
