The rainwater harvesting system will be able to mitigate flooding by collecting and storing rainwater from roofs of pulblic schools and government buildings instead of letting it go to waste through runoff. This will also serve as alternative and back-up source of water supply in public schools in case of water interruption during disaster events, where schools are used as evacuation cetners. This will also aid to reduce water scarcity during severe droughts during dry season. The use of rainwater for cleanups, watering plants, and flushing toilets instead of using potable water supplied by water concessionaire will enable conservation of water from Angat and La Mesa dams, where water supple for Metro Manila is sourced from.
