MANILA, Philippines — With the El Niño phenomenon now under way, the government must lay down a 'comprehensive' approach in addressing another possible water shortage in the country, Sen. Nancy Binay said on Monday. Binay, in a statement, said Republic Act No. 6716 or the Rainwater Collector and Springs Development Act, enacted in 1989, laid down the government's 'accelerated water supply program.' 'We want to find out how many rainwater collection systems have been constructed in the 42,000 barangays in the country, how many are still working, who is in charge of their maintenance, how many are already defective and need to be rehabilitated,' she said.
