Published April 10, 2021, 6:28 PM Researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) and Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) are seeking to develop science-based monitoring techniques and planning guidelines for sustainable water resource management in tourist islands, such as Boracay Island. This was disclosed by DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña during his weekly report on Friday, April 9. Supported by the DOST-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), the project “intends to provide a comprehensive understanding on the water conditions and outlook,” he said. “Guidelines in the management of both surface and groundwater resources in the Nabaoy River Watershed and Boracay Island will be formulated as well.”
