The latest version of the Philippine National Standards for Drinking-Water (PNSDW) was issued in 2007 by the Department of Health (DOH). Due to several issues and concerns, the DOH decided to make an update which is relevant and necessary to meet the needs of the stakeholders. As an output, the water quality parameters are now categorized into mandatory, primary, and secondary. The ten mandatory parameters are core parameters which all water service providers nationwide are obligated to test. These include thermotolerant coliforms or Escherichia coli, arsenic, cadmium, lead, nitrate, color, turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids, and disinfectant residual. The 55 primary parameters are site-specific and can be adopted as enforceable parameters when developing new water sources or when the existing source is at high risk of contamination. The 11 secondary parameters include operational parameters and those that affect the esthetic quality of drinking-water. In addition, the updated PN...

This paper assessed the local service delivery (LSD) of potable water in Dumaguete City and selected areas of Agusan del Sur. It is based on a recent study conducted by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and the United Nations Children`s Fund (UNICEF). The results and findings of the study indicated, among others, that Dumaguete City had met national and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) related to potable water delivery while some of the covered municipalities of Agusan del Sur were far from achieving them.Findings also showed that LSD in the two sites faces numerous problems--many of which were institutional in nature--that need to be addressed if national and international goals are to be realized. Some recommendations, including those on the institutional and other related aspects, were put forward for the further development of the LSD of potable water in the two sites as well as in similarly situated areas in the country.

Ensuring universal access to safe drinking water is a global challenge, especially in rural areas. This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of a risk-based strategy to improve drinking water safety for five gravity-fed piped schemes in rural communities of the Mid-Western Region of Nepal. The strategy was based on establishing community-led monitoring of the microbial water quality and the sanitary status of the schemes. The interventions examined included field-robust laboratories, centralized data management, targeted infrastructure improvements, household hygiene and filter promotion, and community training. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in the microbial water quality eight months after intervention implementation, with the share of taps and household stored water containers meeting the international guidelines increasing from 7% to 50% and from 17% to 53%, respectively. At the study endline, all taps had a concentration of <10 CFU Escheri...

The Business Operations of Water Refilling Stations in the Province of Cavite

• Elias Prieto, Jr.

INTRODUCTION

This research assesses the effectiveness of the business operations of water refilling stations in the province of Cavite.

Questionnaires were given to two sets of respondents: company-respondents and customer-respondents. Frequency/Percentage Distributions, Weighted Mean and ANOVA were utilized.

Operations of water refilling stations were very effective in terms of production, marketing and operation management when grouped by number of years of existence, number of employees and capitalization. Marketing operations were effective when grouped by number of years as customer of these stations and also when grouped by most frequently purchased type of water package and frequency of purchase.

DISCUSSIONS

There were significant differences in the company-respondents' assessment on the effectiveness of their business operations when grouped by capitalization in terms of production, marketing, finance, human resource management and operation management while no significant differences were observed when grouped by number of years in existence in terms of the business strategy aspects. Significant differences in the company-respondents' assessment were observed when grouped by number of employees in terms of human resource management while no significant differences were noticed when grouped in terms of production, marketing, finance and operation management.

A brief analysis is made of the 1966 Helsinki Rules on the Uses of the Waters of International Rivers, with a focus on the statement that each basin State is entitled, within its territory, to a reasonable and equitable share in the beneficial uses of the waters of an international drainage basin. It is shown that it is rare for most agreement to establish the rules concerning the use of international water bodies involving inevitable strict responsibility for any breaches thereof. A brief characteristic of the Nile river and its basin is provided. The main international agreements for the Nile river are highlighted. Prominence is given to the 1929 and 1959 Agreements where Egypt’s “natural and historical” rights to the Nile waters were recognized. In spite of the fact that many States were dissatisfied with some provisions in the agreements, they continued to cooperate on various current and strategic issues arising in the basin. The Nile Basin Initiative that began with a dialogue among the riparian States was officially launched in 1999 by the water ministers of nine countries that share the river with the purpose of achieving sustainable socioeconomic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources. In May 2010, the representatives of Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya signed the Framework Agreement on the Nile Basin. In February 2011, the Agreement was signed by Burundi, and DR Congo is also expected to sign. It is the first multilateral agreement on the Nile Basin. Since the early 2000s Ethiopia has been active in the construction of hydropower stations on the Nile tributaries, including the largest station in Africa. The struggle of the States in the upper reaches of the Nile for revision of the unjust colonial agreement will necessarily result in accession of the other countries to the Cooperative Framework Agreement or to the preparation of a new agreement which would foresee an equitable sharing of the Nile water resources in the interests of all the Basin States.

The Level-of-Growing-Stock (LOGS) study on thinning ponderosa pine forests in the US West: A long-term collaborative experiment in density management Review

The Levels-of-Growing-Stock study for ponderosa pine was a collective effort among western Research Stations within the US Forest Service. The experiment was established to test sustainable productivity across a wide range of densities by periodically thinning the plots. Beyond the original purposes for wood production, contemporary applications of these long-term studies have been to determine stand density effects on ( i ) both overstory and understory responses to stand development of even-aged ponderosa pine, ( ii ) biomass accumulation and carbon sequestration, ( iii ) plant diversity and wildlife habitats, and ( iv ) forest resiliency to insects and pathogens, droughts, and wildfires. Furthermore, these installations have served as a showpiece for the public and natural laboratories for professional foresters and students. For the past half century, the study has helped guide land managers and stakeholders on public and private lands about the value of thinning in overstocked young stands of ponderosa pine across its range. We hope that it will continue to serve as a springboard for addressing future issues facing forest management.
