Establishment of a Consortium on Urban Subsurface Environment Management in Asia.
• This proposal is an offshoot on the Research project of the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) of Japan that assess the human impacts on urban subsurface( groundwater) environment in 7 metropolitan areas in Asia such as: Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila. Osaka, Seoul, Taipei and Tokyo.
• For Metro Manila, Philippines inadequacy of data was a major concern making analysis difficult and groundwater modelling not possible.
• To form a Consortium in the Philippines initially for Metro Manila composed of multi-sectoral groups to facilitate cooperation, collaboration and effective communication.
