Abstract

The presentation provides an in-depth report on groundwater usage and changes in the urban population of Metro Manila with parallel changes of supply and demand on a diminishing watershed. Increased climate change vulnerability is determined by socioeconomic development impacts and interactions with natural climate variations (rainfall, monsoons), as well as human-caused climate change which cumulatively add up to influence disaster risk.
