EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 222 -
ESTABLISHING THE COMMITTEE ON WATER CONSERVATION AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT
WHEREAS, water is a basic necessity
essential to human survival and to sustainable economic development.
WHEREAS, water has scarcity value and as a precious commodity should be
conserved and rationally and optimally utilized.
WHEREAS, the country’s water resources continue to deteriorate in
quality and abate in quantity thereby raising the probability of
critical water shortfalls in the immediate future.
WHEREAS, the pollution in our water bodies and the impending shortfall
in water supply may be attributed to our disregard of the importance of
water to human survival.
WHEREAS, there is now an urgent need to properly manage the utilization
of the nation’s water resources to ensure that human and economic needs
are provided for in a sustainable way.
WHEREAS, a water conservation program must now be set in place and
implemented through coordinative, consultative and mutually-supportive
mechanisms where the private sector plays an active role.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Republic of the
Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby
