MCWD eyes Mangasang Falls as water source – Philippines THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) is now searching for water sources aside from pursuing the construction of desalination plants in Metro Cebu. This hunt for water supply led MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III and directors Francisco âFrankâ Malilong Jr., Miguelito Pato and Judelyn Mae Seno to visit Mangasang Falls in the mountain barangay of Tagbao, Cebu City on Thursday, June 24, 2021. Mangasang Falls could supply 200,000 cubic meters of water per day in the rainy season, and 2,000 cubic meters of water per day in the dry [âŠ] MCWD eyes Mangasang Falls as water source – PhilippinesHIWI042021-06-25T10:53:00+02:00
MCWD guarantee: No water rate hike before 2024 – Philippines THERE will be no increase in water rates until consumers really feel the abundance of the water supplied to them by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD). The assurance came from MCWD as it begins to enter into water desalination projects with private companies. âConsidering that desalination is expensive, that will have an effect on the price. We expect that there will be an increase, but our direction is we will not increase water rates if the consumers cannot feel there is enough water,â said MCWDâs acting corporate [âŠ] MCWD guarantee: No water rate hike before 2024 – PhilippinesHIWI042021-06-12T16:20:39+02:00
MCWD to hike rates once supply is available – Philippines THE increase in water rates will only be imposed once the consumers feel water supply is available. This was what the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) assured its consumers as it enters into a water desalination project with FDC Utilities Inc., a subsidiary of Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC). John Neville Macabenta, MCWDâs acting corporate planning department manager, said the FDC targets to start the distribution of desalinated water by next year.

China issues 5-year action plan for seawater desalination – China China has issued an action plan for seawater desalination utilization development over the next five years, according to China Science Daily on Friday. The action plan, jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Natural Resources, is expected to promote the large-scale utilization of seawater desalination and ensure the safety of water resources in coastal areas. Chinaâs seawater desalination scale will exceed 2.9 million tonnes per day by 2025, an increase of more than 1.25 million tonnes per day, according to the action [âŠ] China issues 5-year action plan for seawater desalination – ChinaHIWI042021-06-05T14:40:10+02:00
China makes desalination push to ease water scarcity – China China will invest in new desalination plants over the 2021-2025 period and raise capacity to 2.9 million tonnes a day in a bid to boost water supplies, the countryâs state planning agency said in a new âfive-year planâ for the sector. As much as 1.25 million tonnes per day of new capacity will be commissioned over the period, including 1.05 million tonnes in coastal cities and 200,000 tonnes in âisland regions,â the National Development and Reform Commission said on Wednesday.

Desalination plant on Mavulis Island in Batanes goes online – Philippines A water desalination and purification system went online this week and will provide drinking water to soldiers manning Mavulis Island in the Batanes town of Itbayat, one of the countryâs northernmost municipalities. Governor Marilou Cayco said she joined Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana when he ceremonially switched on the facility that would provide a steady and sustainable source of drinking water for the military troops stationed in Mavulis Island.

Desalination plant constructed in PH’s northernmost military outpost – Philippines A desalination plan system, which could produce 1,500 gallons of potable water everyday, has been constructed in the Philippinesâ northernmost outpost, Mavulis Island in Batanes. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana led the inauguration of a desalination plant system which he said was completed partnership of the AFPâs Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) and the AFP Savings and Loan Association Incorporated (AFPSLAI). More than P3 million was spent for the desalination plantâs construction. The process involves removing salts from saline water like seawater. (LINK).

Singapore invests in energy-efficient water desalination – Singapore A new grant issued by Singaporeâs National Water Agency, PUB, will help the country to improve energy efficiency and ensure reliable and flexible water desalination processes. On behalf of the National Research Foundation, PUB has issued a $1.3 million grant to technology firm DuPont to determine how Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO) technology can be applied to desalination processes to make the purification of seawater more energy-efficient, flexible and reliable. The development follows DuPont obtaining CCRO process technology with the acquisition of Desalitech Ltd. in January 2020.

Marina East’s new desalination plant can produce 30 million gallons of fresh drinking water daily – Singapore The plant can produce 30 million gallons of potable water daily, meeting 7 per cent of our daily demand. This is also the first desalination plant that can treat both seawater and rainwater. During dry periods, this plant will treat freshwater from Marina Reservoir which is less energy-intensive than treating seawater. This is also more cost-saving. (LINK).
