Global population is continuing growing nowadays; Eating habits are changed in many regions all over the world‚ especially in China and India; Extreme weather is caused by global climate anomaly which is related droughts and floods in many key production regions‚ such as a years-long drought in Australia; The wider use of agro-fuel led to divert food crops to grow biofuels crops; Agriculture costs are much higher‚ which are caused by soaring oil price‚ limited farmland and water.

Rapid change in populations‚ economies‚ and climate will make achieving water security by countries that are currently water insecure much more difficult. Escalating water competition‚ deteriorating water ecosystems‚ intensified flood and drought shocks‚ and related social tensions are all predicted (Grey et al.‚ 2012)

Earth. The temperature on Earth will rise significantly when heat from the sun is trapped in Earth’s atmosphere. It is also known as the main reason that causes damages to the ozone layer. Besides that‚ natural disasters‚ such as hurricanes; droughts; and floods‚ are becoming more frequent. The temperature at the Earth ’s Poles is also rising rapidly. The major factors leading to global warming are greenhouse effects and deforestations. In the past years‚ the impacts of global warming were not noticed

Philippines is considered as one of the poorest countries in the world and one of the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change‚ especially on water resources. Occurrences of extreme climate events like droughts in the course of ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) and floods during tropical storms and monsoons are big threats to the major water reservoirs in the country (Jose & Cruz‚ 1999). Water is the most essential resource that all living organisms and humans need in order to sustain
