The Philippines' Bureau of Soils and Water Management (Filipino: Kawanihan ng Pamamahala sa Lupa at Tubig,[1] abbreviated as BSWM), is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Agriculture responsible for advising and rendering assistance on matters relative to the utilization of soils and water as vital agricultural resources.

The committee was composed of the Directors of the Bureau of Science, of Plant Industry, of Lands, of Forestry, of Mines and of Weather.

The outputs served as the fundamental basis for laying the principles needed to undertake soil conservation work.

Since then, the bureau has become a major planning, policymaking, consultative and advisory agency of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

[5] The Bureau retained its staff function of soil resources survey, evaluation, conservation, testing and research but its mandate was broadened to include the development and generation of water resources utilization and conservation technologies as well as inclusion of rainmaking projects to alleviate the impact of prolonged drought on standing crops.

In January 1990, the Bureau moved from Sunvesco Building along Taft Avenue and Court of Appeals Building along Maria Orosa Street, Ermita, Manila, where the technical and administrative offices and the laboratories were then housed to its new home, the Soils Research and Development Center (SRDC) in Diliman, Quezon City.

In March 1991, the new SRDC Building was inaugurated by President Corazon Aquino with the Honorable Toshi Goto, the Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines.

SRDC's goal to become the center for soil and water based researches and technologies to sustain self-sufficiency in agricultural production was boosted with the SRDC-JICA Technical Cooperation, Phase I.
