Solons warn of impending water shortage

Manila, PHL  |  April 22, 2013

Some Manila solons, echoing the concern of  ADB for entire Asia (it could face severe water shortage by 2020 by as much as 40%), warns of impending water shortage in the next 5 years, cried the major dailies this morning.  Of course, this would mean more projects and infrastructures.

What does this mean to renewable energy?

This means limited hydro power gen as the rivers will be tapped for domestic use;  more wranglings over water rights.  (They are right that the next war would not be about oil but about water)

This coupled with ice melts poses really poses great difficulty if we do not act now
