Perched on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines are always threatened by devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons. To ensure a reliable water supply for its 6 million customers in the event of disaster, Manila Water Company, Inc. prepared a USD 260 million Resiliency and Mitigation Masterplan for its water and wastewater service area covering the east zone of Metro Manila and Rizal Province.
WaterGEMS illustrated what happens if one or more interconnected system shuts down, and which facilities would cause the most harm if operating at less than full capacity. The results helped Manila Water prioritize facilities requiring resiliency measures to minimize damage, and facilities needing contingency plans in case of loss. These measures could limit property damage and business interruption to USD 380 million vs. USD 520 million without such measures.
