Harwell, Oxfordshire, 30th January 2018. Rezatec
Metro Pacific Water is the water and wastewater investments arm of the Philippines
For several years, Rezatec has been deploying its services to water utilities around the world, and now, as part of a continued global expansion into new markets, it is collaborating with Metro Pacific Water to reduce degradation of the Maasin watershed area and Laguna Lake
In the first of two separate projects, Metro Pacific Water commissioned Rezatec to analyse the status of the Maasin watershed in Iloilo on Panay Island, an area that over the years has increasingly suffered high degradation due to slash and burn farming practices and firewood harvesting. Earth observation data is being used to map the entire area ional typhoons and seasonal weather patterns, all of which have an impact on water quality.
The second project involves geospatial analytics to determine those areas of Laguna Lake
to understand – with a high level of precision – the origin of the biggest water quality offenders and prepare for remedial action. This has been possible to achieve within weeks with satellite analytics, saving months of ground observation and data collection in areas that are in real need of atten& Lead for Industry Innovation – Metro Pacific Water, Philippines.
