I. Introduction
Water resources are bodies of water that supply our agricultural, industrial, recreational
and environmental activities, in this, water is essential in the accomplishment or development
of a specific sector of the economy. Currently, gradual increase in population and also because
of Climate change becomes a great factor for this resource’s depletion. This is why in the
Philippines the Philippine Statistics Authority, GREENPEACE made a means to measure
and account every available water in the country and from where these water sources are
available.

There are prime sources, the Ground water and Surface water both are relatively necessary
in the development of the country but is gradually misused resulting to gradual depletion of
this resource. Currently, the country is facing shortage of water because of changes in the
climate and improper use or utilization of the water resource. This shortage is gradual
increasing in the Philippines because of the population growth but less means of conservation.
