Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, the Philippines
Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, The Philippines i Summary Metro Manila also called the National Capital Region (NCR) is situated in the south eastern part of the Philippines. Serving as the main economic culture and educational center, the region is a densely populated metropolitan area. The Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP) was designed to ensure secured and sufficient raw water supply to meet the current and future demands of the rapidly growing population of Metro Manila. The project focuses on the construction of a new 6.3 km tunnel (no. 4), intake structures at the Ipo dam and connecting structures of the transition basins, new aqueduct (no. 6)., rehabilitating and retrofitting of existing tunnels and aqueducts. The project is expected to restore the water transmission capacity of the Angat transmission system which currently operates about the 30% below its design capacity. Given the rapidly growing population of a highly populated Metro Manila, the project would ensure that a maximum capacity of 4.65 million m3/d of raw water is transmitted from the Angat dam at maximum efficiency. In addition, the execution of the project is expected to build the technical capacity of the staffs of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), who are the primary administrators of the project. The project features social and economic aspects that are targeted towards improving the livelihood and health conditions of source community’s programs and indigenous people. The project also has in place environmental safeguards that aim at reducing and mitigating direct and indirect impacts on the biotic and abiotic parts of the environment.

Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 Water Quality in Pampanga River Along Barangay Buas in Candaba, Pampanga Carolyn Arbotante, Jennifer Bandao, Agnes De Leon, Camela De Leon, Zenaida Janairo, Jill Lapuz, Ninez Bernardine Manaloto, Anabel Nacpil and Fritzie Salunga Department of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences, Angeles University Foundation Mac Arthur Highway, 2009 Angeles City, Philippines *[email protected] Abstract: Pampanga River traverses the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Bulacan and is the second largest river in the whole of Luzon with a total length of 260 kilometers. It divides into small branches that empty to several fishponds especially in the town of Candaba. This study aimed to initially identify the physico- chemical characteristics of the river using some parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured using DO meter, pH meter, and thermometer. Chemical tests were done on site using test kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (API). It was found that ammonia and phosphate concentrations exceeded the maximum value required by the DAO 34 -Water Quality Standard for Class C Water. The DO concentration was below the minimum requirements for river water. Key Words: Candaba; Pampanga; River Water; Community 1. INTRODUCTION the barangay is directly connected to one side of the river and houses are built along the river bank. The Pampanga River with a total length of 260 town is more of a residential area with big factories kilometers, is the second largest river in the whole of not yet locally taking advantage of the river.

The Use GIS and Remote Sensing in the Assessment of Magat Watershed in the Philippines A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Management Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston North, New Zealand Emerson Tattao 2010 Abstract The Philippine watersheds are continually being degraded— thus threatening the supply of water in the country. The government has recognised the need for effective monitoring and management to avert the declining condition of these watersheds. This study explores the applications of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), in the collection of information and analysis of data, in order to support the development of effective critical watershed management strategies. Remote sensing was used to identify and classify the land cover in the study area. Both supervised and unsupervised methods were employed to establish the most appropriate technique in watershed land cover classification. GIS technology was utilised for the analysis of the land cover data and soil erosion modelling. The watershed boundary was delineated from a digital elevation model, using the hydrological tools in GIS. The watershed classification revealed a high percentage of grassland and increasing agricultural land use, in the study area. The soil erosion modelling showed an extremely high erosion risk in the bare lands and a high erosion risk in the agriculture areas.

Flood Forecasting and Warning System for Magat Dam and Downstream Communities
Flood Forecasting and Warning System for Magat Dam and Downstream Communities Rehabilitation of hydrometric network; develop- ment of a hydrological information system and THE PHILIPPINES procedures for use of data for flood forecasting/ Capital: Manila NVE warning systems; associated training. International Population: 105,720,644 (July 2013 est.) THE THE Section Background: Total installed capacity: 16,320 MW The Cagayan river basin is the largest in the Philippines, PHILIPPINES encompassing the provinces of Nueva Viscaya, Isabela and Cagayan. The basin is affected by recurring floods due to tropi- cal cyclones and the northeast monsoon. To mitigate adverse effects of flooding in the basin, the Philippine Government established the Cagayan Flood Forecasting and Warning System (FFWS) in 1982. The FFWS was upgraded in 1992 with the inclusion of a warning system for operation of the Magat Dam; -multipurpose dam for irrigation of 102,000 hectares and for power production. The system has encountered fur- ther problems since its upgrading, including breakdown of the telemetry system and some of the monitoring stations. The ability to warn people downstream and to operate the spill- ways of the Magat Dam satisfactorily at times of floods has therefore been reduced. In June 2008 Norad asked NVE to assist PAGASA preparing a proposal for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the system. A field visit including an assessment of the station network was conducted by NVE officials in November 2008. As an agreed follow-up, NVE prepared a proposal in close cooperation with PAGASA on how to structure potential Norwegian support for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the Cagayan FFWS.

Appendix a Water Pollution in the Philippines: Case Studies
Foreword CLIMATE CHANGE is undoubtedly the biggest challenge the Philippines faces today, and the vulnerability of our water resources to this phenomenon is a reality that can no longer be ignored. But while water scarcity is perhaps one of the most alarming projected effects of climate change on water resources, two recent typhoons in the Philippines— Ketsana and Parma—have driven home the message that over-abundance can be equally devastating. Both typhoons, along with several others in the past few years, have shown how the country is sorely ill-prepared to handle the impacts brought on by a warming world. Indeed, climate change and the ensuing extreme weather events which have brought too little—or too much—water, have caused periods of water crisis that have destroyed thousands of lives and billions of pesos worth of property and agricultural crops. At the same time, water resources in the country are already confronted with many persistent problems: widespread pollution, over-extraction, and the degradation of watersheds. The present situation, set against the backdrop of climate change, is far from promising. While climate change will affect all sectors, it is its effects on freshwater—society’s, and the Earth’s, life support system—which will be most seriously felt. Water insecurity cuts across all other sectors and will negatively affect agriculture, health, and the economy. But the country’s water systems are still far from being climate-proofed, and current climate change adaptation plans lack the necessary emphasis on addressing impacts on water. This report therefore puts forward the case for the improved management of water resources as a key climate change adaptation strategy.

Flood Risk Assessment Under the Climate Change in the Case of Pampanga River Basin, Philippines
FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT UNDER THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CASE OF PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN, PHILIPPINES Santy B. Ferrer* Supervisor: Mamoru M. Miyamoto** MEE133631 Advisors: Maksym Gusyev*** Miho Ohara**** ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to assess the flood risk in the Pampanga river basin that consists of the flood hazard, exposure, and risk in terms of potential flood fatalities and economic losses under the climate change. The Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model was calibrated using 2011 flood and validated with the 2009, 2012 and 2013 floods. The calibrated RRI model was applied to produce flood inundation maps based on 10-, 25, 50-, and 100-year return period of 24-hr rainfall. The rainfall data is the output of the downscaled and bias corrected MRI -AGCM3.2s for the current climate conditions (CCC) and two cases of future climate conditions with an outlier in the dataset (FCC-case1) and without an outlier (FCC-case2). For this study, the exposure assessment focuses on the affected population and the irrigated area. Based on the results, there is an increasing trend of flood hazard in the future climate conditions, therefore, the greater exposure of the people and the irrigated area keeping the population and irrigated area constant. The results of this study may be used as a basis for the climate change studies and an implementation of the flood risk management in the basin. Keywords: Risk assessment, Pampanga river basin, Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model, climate change, MRI-AGCM3.2S 1. INTRODUCTION The Pampanga river basin is the fourth largest basin in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon Region with an approximate area of 10,545 km² located in the Central Luzon Region.
