Activity Description: WorldWater Philippines, Inc. has surpassed former water supply systems with a revenue-earning model that implements solar-powered pumps and smart card technology, making it a candidate for adoption on the national level. The model captures the Philippines ideal sunlight conditions to distribute water from high groundwater levels, placing system management directly into the hands of local communities and farmers. Solar-powered pumps send water along pipeline networks to AquaMeters for farm irrigation and community drinking water needs. Customers insert pre-paid AquaCards into the AquaMeters to obtain water with water credits purchased at locally-led managing associations. The computer chip embedded in the AquaCard allows the collection and tracking of user data by the system's computer terminal. The community involvement and economic benefits boosted by the full cost recovery of the AquaMeter/AquaCard system make WorldWater unique to former water supply systems that collapsed due to lack of revenue generation. For example, a WorldWater system established in the village of Cebu has reduced water prices while generating impressive revenue to ensure sustainability. The National Irrigation Administration of the Department of Agriculture is actively planning a nationwide irrigation program based on this model.
