-====== Community Water Project ====== 
-Tags: potable water, disaster risk mitigation, social services, deep wells, resilience, climate change 
-\\ 
  
-===== Rationale ===== 
-Potable water supply in many areas in the Philippines, especially in third class or worse-off municipalities, is inaquate and unreliable. Disasters could exacerbate the situation, leaving people (especially the poor) to fend for themselves and aggravating their health vulnerabilities.\\ 
-\\ 
-A community water project could help remedy the situation and serve as a measure to mitigate the effects of disasters. It may also complement existing municipal water infrastructure.
