Researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), with the support from DOST-PCIEERD (Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging technology Research and Development), have developed a decision support system in monitoring the groundwater quality and quantity in nine highly urbanized water critical cities in the country. […] The project will assess, simulate and analyze the effects of flooding, drought, population change, climate change, and massive urban development in groundwater to produce a near realistic groundwater outlook for the next 50 years.
