To prevent water pollution caused by industries, it is suggested to make stricter pollution control laws and enforcing the industries to have their own pollution control equipments and treatment systems before they are allowed to operate. Industries should also redesign the processes in manufacturing their products in such a way that it will cause less production of pollutants to be disposed in water. Industries who will fail to meet the water quality standards should be closed down.

In the Philippines, the water intensive industries are involved in manufacturing of food and dairy, pulp and chemical products and textile materials. National Capital Region (NCR), CALABARZON and Region III are the three most prominent regions that houses these industries. In 1999, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) stated that the excessive use of water is critical in terms of production of hazardous wastes. Thousands of cubic meter of waste water are improperly disposed of annually in Metro Manila, usually to rivers and seas.

Water has taken a great part in developing technologies that make people’s lives more comfortable such as generation of electricity from hydroelectric plants and manufacture of different products.
