The Government of the Philippines has requested Bank Group assistance to carry out the Tarlac Irrigation Systems Improvement E'roject located in Central Luzon. The project consists of the rehabilitation of three existing irrigation systems now serving a total area of 21,000 ha and the construction of new systems on some 13,000 ha. The project: also provides for a groundwater pilot project to assess the technical and economic feasibility of supplementing surface irrigation with groundwater - and a training program for water management staff. In addition the project includes provision for carrying out a study of the nationaL irriga- tion systems to prepare a pipeline of system improvement projects. ii. According to the Bank's Agriculture Sector Survey, an annual total of 50,000 ha of newly constructed or rehabilitated irrigation de- velopment on rice lands would have to be carried out over the remaiLnder of the decade to allow the country to achieve foodgrains self-suff:iciency. The modern high yielding rice varieties demand improved water control for optimum results. The proposed project would be the third in a ser:Les of Bank-assisted projects aimed at improving irrigation for rice cropping in Central Luzon, the largest rice producing region in the Philipp:Lnes. The first was the Upper Pampanga River Project (Loan 637-PH) and the second the Aurora-Penaranda Irrigation Project (Loan/Credit 984/472-PH). To date all Bank assisted irrigation projects in the Philippines have been aimed at providing greater water supplies for dry season irrigation by building storage dams. The proposed project would be the first Bank-assisted project to improve and expand existing run-of-the-river systems without providing additional water from storage. iii. Total project cost, including the groundwater and training elements together with the systems improvement study, is estimated at iP 228.5 million (US$ 34.0 million) of which US$12.7 million, or approximately 37%, would be in foreign exchange. The Bank would finance the foreign exchange com- ponent as well as US$4.3 million of local currency requirements. Civil works costing US$ 16.2 million would be carried out by contract. Because of their nature the works would not be suitable for international competi- tive bidding. The total cost of equipment to be put to international competitive bidding would be US$3.5 million. The Government's executing agency, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), would employ consult- ants to provide general guidance and expertise and to assist with the training required for the groundwater pilot project, the systems improvement study and the water management training program. The project would take four years to execute. - ii - iv. The Governmentof the Philippineswould be the borrower and NIA would be the executing agency for the project. All elements of the project would be implementedby the Upper Pampanga River Project (UPRP) office. The UPRP is well staffed with competent personnel and with the employment of consultantswould be able to implement the project successfully. An Agricultural DevelopmentCoordinating Council (ADCC) would be established in the project area to ensure coordination of the Government agencies pro- viding agriculturalsupporting services to the farmers. v. At full development,nine years after project commencement,annual paddy production from the project area is expected to reach 155,000 tons compared with a current level of production of 94,000 tons. The increased productionwould make a contributionto the national campaign for self- sufficiency by providing enough rice to feed a third of a million people per year. vi. Under the Government'sagrarian reform program share cropping has been declared illegal and title to land in holdings of 24 ha or more is now being transferred to the cultivators. When the transfer is completed, ten- tatively the end of 1974, two thirds of the project area lands will be farmed by owner-operatorsand the rest by leasehold tenants of small landlords. The project area is cultivatedby some 17,700 farm familiesworking an average unit of 1.9 ha. The project would result in rises in annual per capita in- come on an average farm size from about US$95 at present to US$135 at full agriculturaldevelopment in 1983. These levels of income would still be low in comparisonwith the national average. vii. The project would require a tighter cropping timetable to allow for irrigationover a larger area and would not provide for any significant increase in cropping intensity or labor requirements. The economic rate of return of the project is expected to be about 15%. The rate of return is sensitive to increases in cost and delays in benefits. However, even under extremely adverse conditions,the rate of return would not fall below 11%. viii. The proposed project is suitable for a Bank Loan of US$17.0 million for a period of 25 years, including a 7-year grace period. The borrower would be the Republic of the Philippines.

  • Summary Report
    SUMMARY REPORT RESULT OF THE MGB GEOHAZARD ASSESSMENT COVERING THE EIGHTEEN (18) MUNICIPALITIES/CITY IN THE PROVINCE OF TARLAC In line with the Presidential Directive and NDCC resolutions following the February 17 Southern Leyte landslide incident, and the need to fast track the geohazard mapping program along the eastern seaboard of the Philippines, geologists from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Regional Office III (MGB-R3) conducted a geohazard assessment of the barangays in the municipalities/city n the province of Tarlac. Each barangay was classified according to their susceptibility to landslide and/or flooding. For landslide susceptibility, the rating parameters are as follows: High • Presence of active and/ or recent landslides • Presence of numerous and large tension cracks along slope adjacent to the community and that would directly affect the community • Areas with drainages that are prone to landslides damming • Steep/Unstable slopes consisting of loose materials Moderate • Areas with indicative and/or old landslides • Presence of small tension cracks along slope and are located away from the community • Moderate slopes 1 Low • Low to gently sloping • No presence of tension cracks Each barangay was rated into low, moderate or high for flooding susceptibility with the rating parameters as follows: Low • 0 – 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters Moderate • 0.51 – 1 meter depth of floodwaters High • > 1 meter depth of floodwaters With regards to landslide susceptibility, the barangays assessed include areas that are located on and/or near slopes and riverbanks and have the potential for landslide occurrence. The rating of each barangay presented herein particularly refers to the barangay proper since majority of the population is located there.

  • Chapter 9 Environmental and Social Considerations
    CHAPTER 9 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS 9.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 9.1.1 Background and Purpose The proposed Central Luzon Link Expressway or CLLEX (Phase-1) has an extension of 30.7 kilometer, 4-lane, access-controlled expressway that is designed to provide a faster and safer connection between Regions 3 and Metro Manila. The project also aims to improve access to the ‘food baskets’ of Central Luzon (or Region III), and to boost the developmental of the areas traversed. The CLLEX Project aims in meeting the following specific objectives: Provide a free-flowing alternative route for the heavily-congested Pan-Philippine Highway (PPH) serving the provinces of Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija; Provide a linkage between the existing Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and PPH to strengthen the lateral (or east-west) linkage in Region III. Provide a highway of international standards access controlled facility. 9.1.2 Necessity of Project 1) Traffic Congestion on Pan Philippine Highway Eastern areas of Region III and whole Region II are served by Pan Philippine Highway, which passes through urban areas at 5-10 km interval. Urban sections of Pan Philippine Highway suffer chronic traffic congestions due to sharp increase of local traffic such as jeepneys and tricycles, and travel speed becomes less than 20 km/hr. With the completion of SCTEX, some traffic of long distance trips, such as between Metro Manila and Cabanatuan City or Region II, are already diverting to the route of NLEX-SCTEX-Tarlac-Sta. Rosa Road from Pan Philippine Highway. When Tarlac-Sta. Rosa Road is replaced by CLLEX, more traffic will be diverted to this route from Pan Philippine Highway, thus traffic congestion of Pan Philippine Highway will be mitigated.

Mohammed a* a Tarlac State University, Tarlac City, 2300 Philippines. Received 24 June 2019; Accepted 27 September 2019 Abstract The objective of the study is to create a flood hazard model of Tarlac River and to calibrate the model based on data gathered from the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration. The study employed analytical method wherein the 1D flood modeling was utilized. GIS, DEM data, rainfall data, river analysis system, HEC- GeoRAS, hydrologic modeling system, and HEC-GeoHMS were utilized. The different flood models revealed that Tarlac River is not expected to be overtopped by flood water as regards the different extreme rainfall events considered in the present study. The RAS model simulation was based on the concept that there is no base flow observed within the river reach before the occurrence of any extreme rainfall event. Henceforth, there is still no 100 percent assurance that the river reach will not be overtopped with the occurrence of initial base flow in combination with the occurrence of higher extreme rainfall events. Further studies or investigations should be delved into such combination of events. Possible levee breach of the Tarlac River as well as the possible incorporation of flood mitigating interventions in future modeling scenarios can be likewise considered. Keywords: Flood Hazard Modeling; Flood Modeling; River Analysis. 1. Introduction With the advent of global warming and higher recorded rainfall events, urban flooding as well as levee breach along waterways is experienced widespread among different countries.
