Issue Date

Abstract
© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG. This chapter provides the context, setting and framework of water policy analysis for this volume. It gives an introduction to the state of water resources in the Philippines, supply and demand situation and the extent of pollution of water bodies. It presents the framework of analysis that guided the discussion in the book. The framework showcases the water supply sustainability issues vis a vis the growing demand and the needed policy support to make this happen. Factors identified to drive water scarcity are the increasing population and urbanization, weak institutional arrangements in the water sector, lack of policy instruments and weak implementation of environmental policies and laws. The last part outlines the organization of the book.
