BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya (PIA) —The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed the installation of 11 Rainwater Collector Systems (RWCS) in various elementary schools across the province.
DPWH First District Engineer Marifel Andes explained that the RWCS will help communities conserve water while providing schools with an alternative water supply.
