ntroductionThe National Water Resources Board ("NWRB") is the lead government agency in the Philippine water sector, conferred with policy-making, regulatory and quasi-judicial functions. The NWRB is responsible for ensuring the optimum exploitation, utilization, development, conservation and protection of the country's water resource, consistent with the principles of Integrated Water Resource Management.The NWRB's functions and responsibilities are three-fold. Formulation and coordination of policies, programs and standards relating to the Philippine Water Sector; Management and regulation all water-related activities; and Regulation and monitoring of water utilities. The NWRB Board, composed of five (5) cabinet secretaries, a representative from the academe and the executive director, is chaired by the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources. Although independent, insofar as its regulatory and quasi-judicial functions are concerned, the NWRB is under the administrative supervision of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, as an attached agency.VisionWATER FOR ALLMission1. To ensure access to safe, adequate water supply and sanitation at acceptable rates and levels of service;2. To allocate sufficient water that will ensure food security and spur economic development of the country; and3. To protect the water environment in order to preserve flow regimes, biodiversity and cultural heritage as well as the mitigation of water related hazards.

National Irrigation Administration shall carry out the construction of the Project, operate and administer all facilities therein, and determine the priorities in the use of the waters: Provided, however, That the National Irrigation Administration may, with the approval of the President of the Philippines, transfer certain functions with respect to the operation of the Project to appropriate agencies or instrumentalities of the Government.

Sec. 3. The President of the Philippines is hereby authorized to contract such loans, credits and indebtedness under the provisions of Section one of Republic Act Numbered Forty-eight hundred and sixty as may be necessary to enable the Republic of the Philippines to finance the foreign currency requirements of the Project which shall not exceed sixty million United States dollars, or the equivalent thereof in other currencies. The total proceeds of such loans, credits and indebtedness are hereby appropriated to the National Irrigation Administration to be used exclusively for the construction of the Project.

Groundwater resourcesThere are four major groundwater reservoirs (Cagayan, 10000km2; Central Luzon, 9000km2; Agusan, 8500km2; Cotobato, 6000km2) which, when combined with smaller reservoirs already identified, would aggregate to an area of about 50000km2.Private wells are extensively used in rural areas for domestic purposes. Municipal waterworks wells are drilled by the Local Water Utilities Administration for domestic purposes and deep wells have been drilled by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) for irrigation purposes.The groundwater resources are estimated at 180km3/year, of which 80percent (145km3/year) would constitute the base flow of the river systems. The total internal water resources would therefore amount to 479km3/year. (Detailed water resources information for the Philippines.)
