Wellness in Environment: The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has created a one-stop web page that contains all data on the state of the country’s environment and natural resources in one place. A statement from the DENR said the site is called the Environment and Natural Resources Statistics Information Systems (ENRSIS), – http://enrsis.denr.gov.ph/ – . It is a centralized database online destination that provides an integrated information bank on current environmental and natural resources (ENR) facts and figures. DENR Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje said the ENRSIS is a useful tool for the public and organizations and institutions pushing for sustainable development through effective environmental planning. “By creating this centralized resource, the ENRSIS allows the public to use with greater efficiency the power of reliable information as a tool to empower themselves,” Paje said. Paje said that apart from serving as a repository of the government’s ENR data, the ENRSIS also facilitates easy collation and valid comparison of data across ENR sectors contained in a single format.

“With the ENRSIS, it is now easier to track the progress we are making over a wide variety of concerns or to compare and analyze varying ENR policies being implemented,” Paje pointed out.

Two web portals were built to support ENRSIS users – one for Land/Soil Resources Statistics (LSRS) and one for Water Resource Statistics (WRS). These portals contain data generated initially by some 13 agencies under a single format and will be updated regularly.

The agencies under the WRS portal are the DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), National Water Resources Board (NWRB), Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), Local Water Utilities Administration, Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), and Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
