The major source of water supply in Metro Manila comes from the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa Dam Raw Water System. The Angat Reservoir, located north of Metro Manila, supplies the majority of the region's water needs. Water from the Angat Dam flows to the Ipo Dam and then to the La Mesa Reservoir, where it is treated at the Balara and La Mesa Treatment Plants operated by Manila Water and Maynilad, respectively.

In addition to the Angat Reservoir, Metro Manila also sources water from Laguna Lake and groundwater. However, groundwater usage has been reduced due to water quality issues and pollution problems. Efforts are being made to tap into Laguna Lake beyond its current permit to meet the increasing water demands.

Angat Reservoir: The Angat Reservoir has a storage capacity of approximately 850 million cubic meters (MCM) and supplies around 4,000 million liters per day (MLD) of water to Metro Manila. The reservoir is crucial for the region's water supply, but its storage capacity is slowly decreasing due to sediment deposition.

Ipo Dam: The Ipo Dam serves as a regulating reservoir, ensuring a steady flow of water from Angat to downstream users. It has a storage capacity of about 7.5 MCM.

La Mesa Reservoir: The La Mesa Reservoir acts as a buffer, storing treated water before distribution to consumers. It has a storage capacity of approximately 57 MCM.

Laguna Lake: Laguna Lake is another significant water source, with a permit allowing for the extraction of up to 300 MLD. There are ongoing discussions to increase this permit to meet future water demands.

Groundwater: Groundwater extraction has been reduced to about 800 MLD due to water quality issues and pollution. Efforts are being made to explore alternative groundwater sources and improve water quality.

Continued investment, community involvement, and innovative solutions are essential to improve waterway and sewerage management in Metro Manila and ensure a healthier environment for its residents.
