DEFINING WDM
WDM is a management approach that
aims to optimize the use of water by
influencing demand. It involves the
application of selective policies, measures
or incentives to promote efficient and
equitable use of water.
 WHY DO WE NEED WDM?

THE ROLE OF NWRB
IN WDM
FOR CONSIDERATION OF NWRB
• Should WDM be practiced in all regions of the country?
• Should NWRB impose volumetric pricing?
• Should NWRB reduce water extraction in scarce areas?
• Should pricing reflect scarcity (cost reflective pricing)?
• How can pricing be used to improve NRW figures?
• How can technology be used to monitor water extraction and/or appropriation?
• What policies can be implemented by NWRB to incentivize WDM in water utilities? In
LGUs?
• How can irrigation be incentivized to be more efficient?
• Should water efficient technology be an allowable expense, even it may raise tariffs?
FOR CONSIDERATION OF NWRB
• How can block tariffs be designed to encourage conservation?
• What studies are the basis for determining water for industrial use (24% of water
allocation)?
• What policies can be implemented to incentivize WDM in water utilities?
• Should water efficient technology be an allowable expense, even it may bring up tariffs?
• How can NWRB encourage fixture (faucets, toilets, etc.) retailers to provide water use
information?
• How can NWRB encourage more rainwater harvesting ordinances?
• What provisions of the Water Code should be reviewed?
• How can NWRB promote WDM?
