Governing Water Security Beyond the Kaliwa Dam Project

Adenauer Young Researcher’s Report Volume 4, Issue 3

As the Philippines braces for the potential impacts of a Super El Niño in late 2026, questions about water security are becoming more urgent. Against this backdrop, the Kaliwa Dam may be part of the solution to Metro Manila’s water insecurity. Yet, securing the country’s water supply requires looking beyond individual infrastructure projects. Although the Kaliwa Dam is an important part of the Philippines’ long-term water security strategy, its implementation also raised critical questions about environmental safeguards, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and public accountability.
