Angat Multipurpose Reservoir with Increased Water Demand and Future Reservoir Sedimentation 32 G. Q. Tabios III DLSU Business & Economics Review 28(2018), pp. 32-39 RESEARCH ARTICLE Angat Multipurpose Reservoir with Increased Water Demand and Future Reservoir Sedimentation Guillermo Q. Tabios III Institute of Civil Engineering and National Hydraulic Research Center, University of the Philippines at Diliman, Quezon City and National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines [email protected] Abstract: The Angat Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir serving competing uses for Metro Manila’s domestic water supply and Bulacan’s Angat-Maasim River irrigation system with a privatized hydropower generation component. This study assesses the reliability of Angat Reservoir operations to deliver these demands with an increased domestic water supply requirement from 46 to 50 m3/sec and with future reservoir sedimentation in 2050. A reservoir optimization-simulation model is employed to simulate daily reservoir operations with long- term generated inflows from a watershed model. Then, the resulting daily reservoir releases for each scenario are subjected to flow duration analysis in the context of reliability analysis to assess the competing water uses of Angat Reservoir.

  • 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.

  • 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.

WHEREAS, as a result of this fragmentation, there is lack of a clear, coherent policy and a rational regulative framework on the use and allocation of our country's scant water resources and reservoirs which have further exacerbated the debate among governmental and private institutions

  • Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (Additional Financing) (RRP PHI 46362-004)
    Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (Additional Financing) (RRP PHI 46362-004) FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT A. Introduction 1. A Financial Management Assessment (FMA) has been prepared in accordance with Asian Development Bank’s (ADB’s) Guidelines for the Financial Management and Analysis of Projects (2005) and Financial Due Diligence A Methodology Note (2009) and the Financial Management Technical Guidance Note (2015). 2. The FMA considered the capacity of Executing Agency, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), focusing on fund flows, staffing, accounting policies and procedures, internal controls, financial reporting and monitoring and internal and external audits. 3. MWSS was created by virtue of Republic Act 6234 passed on 29 June 19711. Its mandate is to ensure an uninterrupted and adequate supply and distribution of potable water for domestic and other purposes at just and equitable rates. In the same year when Republic Act 8041 (known as “The Water Crisis Act”) was passed in 1997, MWSS entered into a 25-year Concession Agreement with two private operators. This effectively transferred the operational responsibilities to Manila Water Company and Maynilad Water Services. Under Article 2 of the Concession Agreement,2 “MWSS grants to the Concessionaires, as contractor, to perform certain functions and as agent, the sole right to manage, operate, repair, decommission and refurbish the Facilities in the Service Area, including the right to bill and collect for water and sewerage services supplied in the service area (the “Concession).” MWSS-Corporate Office (CO) retained the management of Umiray-Angat Trans-basin Project3, monitoring, reporting and administering loans and other related functions while the MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) implements the provision of the Concession Agreement.

  • Determination of Lead Concentration of the Waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG ISSN: 0974-4290 Vol.7, No.4, pp 1895-1901, 2014-2015 Determination of Lead Concentration of the Waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan Edwin A. Estrella1, Marlyn S. De Leon1, Editha N.De Regla1, Butch Stephen C. Duay1 and Edric D A.Estrella2 1Bulacan State University Bustos Campus, Philippines 2University of the Philippines, Philippines Abstract: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional analysis of the concentration of lead of the waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan. Through the use of Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, it was established that the overall mean Lead concentration in the river is found to be 0.3037 ppm (mean standard error of 0.0018). The World Health Organization in 2010 set the legal limit for lead at 0.01 ppm. The river water is 30 times higher than the legal limit. Furthermore, results of the one-way ANOVA revealed that the mean Lead concentrations significantly differ across the different barangay sampling location with a p-value of <0.0001. However, the mean Lead concentrations of water samples stratified according to levels of water sampling and river points where the samplings were done are almost the same. Key Words lead concentration, river waters, FAAS andANOVA. Introduction Industrialization has brought forth so much progress, convenience and satisfaction to human lives. Factories and machines that were conceived unimaginable in the past have already taken form and reality in the present, and are sure to prosper even more in the future. Consequently, no one would dare put a halt to such an amenity in the modern world, lest doing such would cut short all the innovations and breakthroughs.
