Ako Bicol Party-list is serious with the expansion of its solar-powered water supply system, which is expected to help mitigate the effects of El Niño.

To show this, the party-list carried out a geo-resistivity survey in San Miguel Island, Tabaco City, Albay to identify the most suitable locations for the installation of its level 2 solar-powered water supply system.

The geo-resistivity Survey was conducted by a team of geologists who used advanced geophysical methods to measure the electrical properties of the ground.

The survey aimed to map the subsurface geology of the area, including the water-bearing formations, to determine the best locations for the installation of the solar-powered water supply system. This will ensure that the system will be able to provide a reliable source of water to the community.

"The geo-resistivity survey is a vital step in the process of establishing the proposed water supply system," said Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co.

"By identifying the most suitable locations for the installation of the solar-powered water supply system, we can ensure that the system will be able to provide a reliable source of water to the community," he explained.

Apart from identifying suitable locations, the survey also aimed to assess the potential environmental impacts of the installation of the solar-powered water supply system. This will be crucial in ensuring that the system is installed in an environmentally sustainable and responsible manner.

"The Ako Bicol Party List is committed to providing sustainable solutions to the water needs of our communities," said Co.

"We recognize the importance of environmental sustainability, and we will ensure that the installation of the solar-powered water supply system will have minimal impact on the environment."

The proposed level 2 solar-powered water supply system will use solar energy to provide a clean and reliable source of water to communities. The system will be designed to meet the water needs of the people, especially in areas where water scarcity is prevalent, the group said.
