SM Foundation aligns its goal with SM Green Movement about preserving the environment and ensuring the health and wellness of future generations. In line with this, SM Foundation recently established a rainwater harvesting system at Brgy. Irawan Birthing Facility in Puerto Princesa City, Palwan. The initiative aims to strengthen their goal of preserving the environment and ensuring the health and wellness of future generations.
To enhance water conservation and management in the facility, the system collects rainwater from the roof and gutter, then it passes thru vinyl-coated mesh filters to help ensure water quality. With an 800-liter storage capacity, the harvested water serves the facility's non-potable needs like watering plants, cleaning, and toilet flushing.
Midwife Narcisa Jagmis, who leads the said birthing facility, said that it will greatly help them reduce their reliance on the city's water supply systems. "Mahalagang hindi kami nawawalan ng tubig sa center, lalo na po pag nagsimula kaming mag-operate bilang birthing clinic. Ngunit minsan po, walang dumadaloy na tubig at wala kaming mapagkukunan. Kaya napakalaking tulong po ng natural na tubig mula sa rainwater catchment system. Madali namin itong na-access upang gamiting panglinis o pandilig dahil konektado ito sa mga gripo. Ang tubig naman mula sa main line at maitatabi para sa aming sterile operations."
