In a planet occupied mostly of water, I’m surprised that we are approaching to the point that

there will be water scarcity. I’ve created a report on water pollution when I was 1st year here in De La

Salle University and it introduced me to the problem in water – accessiblity of clean and drinkable water.

That’s what I only thought, that the reason for their water problem is just the accessiblity. Dr. Widodo

presented one factor as to why there are water scarcity in some areas.

Water is a valuable resource, unfortunately we can’t use all of the water that the planet

provides. Only 3%, which are fresh waters, are capable in sustaining life. Development contributes to this

problem by slowing down the natural process of converting salt water to fresh water. Wasting of water

through water pollution and using amount that is more than what we need.

As an IT professional, the only technological solution that I can provide to address this problem is

a geographical information system which will plot the forestries and the amount of pollution that affects

the area. The geospacial information will be used to plan the cities to cope up to a more environmental

friendly environment. Due to the limits of technology, a decision support system is the most effective

solution that an IT professional may suggest.
