  1. Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies Visayas State University, 6521-A Baybay City, Philippines Integrative Paper for the DRTS-Water TWG

  2. Background • Integrative process/paper as a mechanism to consolidate the learnings and issues that arise from the various RTDs, research, and other activities • Challenge and need to combine on-the-ground problem solving (13 paradigmatic situations) and addressing policy deficit/mismatch in addressing how we want our water resources and services to be governed • Complete the “storyline”– from source/watershed to tap and identify the policy deficits and gaps (with the 3 sub-themes of the TWG in mind- water rights/human right to water; alternatives; and rules, roles and regulations– role of the state/LGUs, private sector, and communities/civil society) • Key question: what is the state of Philippine water?

  3. Issues to Address • Consolidating the data on water: data sheet on water • Status and type of management of water in each country (public/private/cooperative/mixed) • Legal rights and protection/policies including regulation and key national and international targets (MTPDP, MDG, ASEAN) • Economics of water delivery systems (investment funding, pricing of water, tariff systems, national/regional policies governing these issues) • Approach to water as commons • Nature of water conflicts • Alternatives (defining what we mean by alternatives)

  4. Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies Visayas State University, 6521-A Baybay City, Philippines • Characterization of water service providers • Characterization of associative water systems • Characterization of LGU-operated waterworks • Benchmarking of water districts

  5. Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies Visayas State University, 6521-A Baybay City, Philippines • Documentation of best practices of water service providers • Rural and Barangay WSAs • Water service cooperatives • LGU-operated waterworks

  6. Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies Visayas State University, 6521-A Baybay City, Philippines • Case studies of water use conflicts • Legal remedies and metalegal options to address policy deficits in water resources management • Community participation in the management of watersheds as sources of water supply

  7. Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies Visayas State University, 6521-A Baybay City, Philippines • Social acceptability and economic feasibility of conjunctive uses of water supply • Social acceptability of water quality variability • Economic feasibility of supplying water at various levels of quality for different domestic applications • Assessment of the implementation of sanitation policies at the local levels

  8. Methodology • Collective process with Doc Buboy as team leader • Members: FDC, IPD/AWCP, Water Commons, PKKK, Focus, LRC • Link and integrate the Visayas and Mindanao storylines, and plan activities in these regions (not only for validation) • The on-going research/RTDs on exclusivity, rural water, watershed protection, associative water/alternatives, privatization will feed into the integrative paper • Process documentation will also feed into the integrative paper (being done by Bubut)
