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.

  • Current Status of Transboundary Fish Diseases in Philippines
    171 Current Status of Transboundary Fish Diseases in the Philippines: Occurrence, Surveillance, Research and Training Simeona E. Regidor, Juan D. Albaladejo and Joselito R. Somga Fish Health Section Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources 860 Quezon Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines I. Current Status of Koi Herpesvirus Disease (KHVD) in the Production of Common Carp and Koi Carp I-1. Production of Common Carp and Koi Carp a. Production of Common Carp In 2003, production of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was estimated at 667 metric tons (MT). Most of the production came from the provinces of Luzon particularly Rizal, Laguna, Quezon, Ifugao and Cordillera. The fish is commonly cultured in ponds and some in pens, mainly as monoculture and, to a lesser extent, polyculture with tilapia. Common carp production remains limited because of inadequate supply of fingerlings. Common carp was introduced from China in 1915. The fish was stocked in several lakes and rivers all over the country. In Luzon, it was introduced in Laguna de Bay, Bato and Baao in Bicol, Paoay Lake in Ilocos Norte, Lake Naujan in Mindoro, and Taal Lake. It was also introduced into Magat River in Nueva Viscaya, Lakes Bato and Buhi in Camarines Sur, and Cagayan River in Isabela. In Mindanao, it was introduced in Lakes Lanao, Mainit and Buluan. Since then, common carp has become prevalent in many rivers, lakes and reservoirs in the country. In the 1990s, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), through the National Inland Fisheries Technology Center (NIFTC) in Tanay, Rizal, in collaboration with Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD), and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), established common carp farming technology for the upland areas of Rizal, Laguna, Quezon, Ifugao and Cordillera.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • 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.

  • Oryza Sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras
    Plant Microfossil Results from Old Kiyyangan Village: Looking for the Introduction and Expansion of Wet-field Rice (Oryza sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras Mark HORROCKS, Stephen ACABADO, and John PETERSON ABSTRACT Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810–750 cal. B.P. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal. B.P. in terrace sediments. There is a marked increase in these remains after ca. 530–470 cal. B.P., supporting previous studies suggesting late expansion of the cultivation of wet-field rice in this area. The study represents initial, sediment-derived, ancient starch evidence for O. sativa, and initial, sediment-derived, ancient phytolith evidence for this species in the Philippines. KEYWORDS: Philippines, Ifugao Rice Terraces, rice (Oryza sativa), pollen, phytoliths, starch. INTRODUCTION THE IFUGAO RICE TERRACES IN THE CENTRAL CORDILLERAS,LUZON, were inscribed in the UNESCOWorldHeritage List in 1995, the first ever property to be included in the cultural landscape category of the list (Fig. 1). The nomination and subsequent listing included discussion on the age of the terraces. The terraces were constructed on steep terrains as high as 2000 m above sea level, covering extensive areas. The extensive distribution of the terraces and estimates of the length of time required to build these massive landscape modifications led some researchers to propose a long history of up to 2000–3000 years, which was supported by early archaeological 14C evidence (Barton 1919; Beyer 1955; Maher 1973, 1984).

  • Hydraulics Research Wallingford
    ~ Hydraulics Research Wallingford SEDIMENTATION IN RESERVOIRS: MAGAT RESERVOIR, CAGAYAN VALLEY, LUZON PHILIPPINES 1984 reservoir survey and data analysis R Wooldridge - T Eng (CEI) In collaboration with: National Irrigation Administration, Manila, Philippines Report No OD 69 April 1986 Registered Office: Hydraulics Research Limited, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OXIO 8BA. Telephone: 0491 35381. Telex: 848552 ABSTRACT The Overseas Development Unit of Hydraulics Research Limited is involved in studies to quantify the effects of catchment management in reducing the quantity of sediment being delivered to rivers and deposited in reservoirs. Many recent reservoir studies have shown that observed sedimentation rates can be more than four times the rates estimated during the feasibility studies. This study uses a computer program, developed for a series of Kenyan reservoirs, to calculate the change in storage capacity of Magat Reservoir in north-central Luzon, the Philippines, as the first stage in a unified study of the total catchment erosion/reservoir sedimentstion system. A more detailed examination of the pre-impoundment survey data has shown that the reservoir storage capacity is some 25% greater than the original Feasibility Study and a first estimate of the catchment erosion rate is double the Feasibility Report estimate.
