The book is about the techno-cultural journey of the Matigsalug of Davao City Philippines.
Called 'People of the River' the Matigsalug people's identity is known to have a solid link
with the Davao River. It has thus become ironic that the introduced technology is about
water. The book talks about a water safety system that showcases strong multi-stakeholder
partnership while highlighting the importance of social preparation communication and
technology itself in the technology transfer process involving a unique group of individuals.
