Use of dams in aquaculture proposed

​ DAMS and some lakes can be tapped for aquaculture, with the industry possibly attracting investors if the new growing areas are opened up, according to advocacy group Tugon Kabuhayan. In a virtual briefing Monday, Tugon Kabuhayan convenor Asis G. Perez said aquaculture can be established in Lake Mainit and Lake Lanao in Mindanao, as well as Angat Dam, San Roque Dam, and Pantabangan Dam. Mr. Perez, a former national director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said a policy overhaul is needed to establish aquaculture in dams and more lakes. “This is especially needed for government agencies with jurisdiction in those areas, because every area has a different situation. Regulations should be aligned in order for investment to be drawn to those areas,” Mr. Perez said.

Asian Institute of Management (AIM) researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to develop a forecasting model that can address water shortage in Metro Manila. The AIM researchers, led by Dr. Christopher Monterola under the AIM-Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems Laboratory (ACCeSs), developed a simulation modeling software to enhance Manila Water Company’s (MWC) capability in forecasting the water supply system of Angat-Ipo-La Mesa Dams and its treatment plants and storage reservoir.
