The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is urging the Filipino people to turn the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) crisis as a chance to form “earth-friendly” habits.

“Save water, use environment-friendly materials to minimize trash and regulate the use of energy during the enhanced community quarantine,” Secretary Roy Cimatu said.

He urged households to use water responsibly and avoid wastage, especially with the expected increase in consumption, because of frequent hand washing and use of drinking water.

Earlier, the National Water Resources Board, DENR’s attached agency, said there would be an increased the water allocation of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System’s two water concessionaires from 42 cubic meters per second to its normal allocation of 46 cubic meters per second to ensure a steady water supply for Metro Manila amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
