The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is appealing golf courses to go easy on their water usage to cushion the impact of El Niño.
In a resolution, Metro Manila mayors identified golf courses as one of the establishments that should decrease their use of free-flowing water.
The MMDA suggested reducing water consumption for washing golf carts and keeping the fairways green.
Other strategies for water conservation include setting up rainwater catchment areas and recycling of gray water for watering plants and washing vehicles.
“We need to continuously and consistently save water so that in the coming months, during summer, we will still have a steady supply of it,” MMDA chairman Don Artes said in a statement.
