Welcome to the Presidential Water Commission's website.
The Presidential Water Commission was launched in 2019 under the goal of improving the people’s quality of life through sustainable water circulation achieved through integrated water management at the national level.
The importance of water cannot be stressed enough.
Water was the center of many civilizations’ rise and fall; hence, effective water management has always been key to governing a country.
Today, climate change is a crisis that threatens water security.
Floods, droughts, and poor water quality have become an aspect of modern life—a threat to our well-being.
Good water management serves as a driving force for many countries and regions amid the climiate crisis. The Presidential Water Commission is ready to listen to the voices of the people, no matter how insignificant, to achieve integrated water management trusted by the public. We will remain committed to ensuring water welfare for both nature and people.
Your ongoing continued interest in and valuable contribution to the Presidential Water Commission are highly appreciated.
