The bill would make the government lead a nationwide program to collect rainwater, store it, and recharge underground aquifers so that floods are reduced and water is available during droughts. New buildings must include rain‑water storage; existing ones have two years to add it, and schools, homes, businesses and farms would all be required to install such systems. Violations could be fined up to ₱5 million or result in prison, and the NWRB would enforce the rules.
