Abstract Water demand and supply dynamics are critical to understanding the sustainability of our water resources in the face of growing population pressures and economic development. As the global population expands and industrial activities increase, the demand for freshwater has surged, placing unprecedented strain on available supplies. Balancing the complex interplay between water demand and supply is essential to ensure that this vital resource can meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to access it. The study investigated water demand and supply in Danao City, Cebu, Philippines. The research utilizes data from government agencies and the Danao City Water Works System (DCWWS) to assess their influence on water consumption by examining factors like population growth, economic activity, and environmental conditions. The study recommended solutions like infrastructure improvements, water conservation programs, and exploring alternative water sources to ensure a sustainable water future for Danao City. Despite rising demand linked to population growth, models predict Danao City's water supply will increase in the coming years to accommodate the entire Danao City and other neighbor places as well. The study suggests that Danao city can meet demand considering the number of households, temperature, and Precipitation; the water supply exceeds the projected water demand by 26%-27% of water supply over the next five years and beyond.
