Case Study Margate
Barangay Magpayang is under the municipality of Mainit, province of Surigao del Norte.
It is located at the side of Mainit lake and has a neighboring barangay known as Brgy. Roxas on
its west side, Brgy. Siana on its east side, Brgy. Del Rosario on its north side and Brgy. Pongtud
on its south side. Barangay Magpayang has a total land area of 596 hectares. The uses of this total
land area is divided into different categories; 40% are used for farm, 25% for residential, 3% for
business establishment, 12% for school, 5% for public places and 15% are unused land or idle
land. The 12% of the used by the school is consist of three level; elementary, high school and
college (Surigao State College of Technology). Because of having a tertiary school, it is expected
to have a student from different places that will stay in boarding house or apartment and this will
result to increasing water demand. Barangay Magpayang is consist of 7 puroks and has 429
households. The population in this Barangay has a total of 1827, including the students and
The barangay has one reservoir as source of water for domestic use. The fresh water in
reservoir is come from the mountain in neighboring municipality. Because of having a huge
population, some household can’t get fresh water especially Purok 2. Purok 2 has 45 total
households, 5 boarding house and has a total population of 375, including the faculties and
students. Almost 50% of these total households in Purok 2 cannot get enough water. Though the
reservoir is big enough, the problem is the improper design of water distribution pipes. In other
hands, the farmer depends on the irrigation so they will not affect the demand for fresh water.

This chapter contains information that was obtained from related literatures that were
conducted prior to this study which will give the reader a wide understanding on this specific study.
Water is a basic necessity of all life forms on earth. It is one of the fundamental resources
that is being consumed by animals, human beings and plants. It is impossible for a life to function
Water is one of the most abundant substances on Earth which covers more than 70 per cent
(70%) of the earth’s surface and exists as vapor in the earth’s atmosphere. It is used for many
different purposes throughout our economy and natural resources. In agriculture, water is
necessary in the development of crops, in fish farming and livestock watering. In a rural or
residential settings, water is used for various daily activities such as cooking, bathing, cleaning,
flushing of toilets and waste disposal. Water is used in commercial settings for establishments such
as restaurants, hotels, malls and other commercial facilities like municipal landscapes, public
swimming pools and parks. In industries, water is used for the manufacturing of goods like
beverages and instant foods. It is also used to clean, cool and operate machineries. In relation to
the production of a renewable energy, water is used in hydroelectric power plant as a medium to
Water demand is defined as the quantity of water that the treatment plant must produce in
order to meet all water needs in the community. It includes water delivered to the system to meet

the needs of consumers, water supply for firefighting and system flushing, and water required to
(https://www.newportoregon.gov/dept/pwk/documents/Section06.pdf).
The first step in designing a Level II or small Level III water system is to consider and
determine the amount of water needed by the population to be covered. The supply must be
sufficient for the existing and future consumers (RWS Volume 1, 2012).
Water resources are the natural resources of water that are potentially useful. Uses of water
include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. All living

can be converted into a drinkable one. Freshwater environments include the rivers, lakes, streams,
underground aquifers and wetlands. It supplies water for drinking, growing crops, manufacturing,
energy and transport. The increase of human population, excessive consumption, and improving
living standards are the driving factor on the rising demand for water
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_resources#Water_scarcity_and_water_shortages).
According to the University of Arkansas, water quality describes a broad spectrum of items
related on how can a person identify water concerns and collectively address them. It is widely
defined as the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of water in respect to its suitability
describes the condition of the water, including chemical, physical, and biological characteristics,
usually with respect to its suitability for a particular purpose such as drinking or swimming.
microorganisms, and the presence of pesticides and other contaminants. Poor water quality can
cause diseases and health risk to both humans and the ecosystems.
Water distribution systems convey water drawn from the water source or from the
treatment facilities, to the point where it is delivered to the consumers. These systems deal with
water demand that depends considerably in the course of a day. These systems consist of pipes,
pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings and other hydraulic apparatus. The

2.5 Factors Affecting Water Supply
The following are the physical factors that affect water supply
(https://www.coolgeography.co.uk/gcsen/CRM_Water_Factors_Supply.php):
2.5.1 Climate
According to National Geographic, climate change is affecting water access around the
globe, causing more severe droughts and floods. Climate change impacts the process of water cycle
by influencing when, where, and how much precipitation falls. The increase of global temperatures
can cause water to evaporate in larger amounts, which will lead to higher levels of water vapor
2.5.2 Geology
According to Cool Geography, geology affects where water is stored and the location of
aquifers and groundwater. Where rocks are impermeable (it cannot allow the fluid to pass through),
water remains on the earth’s surface in rivers. Where rocks are permeable (penetrable by liquids
or gases through pores or opening) then the water can infiltrate into the ground and either be moved
supply(https://www.coolgeography.co.uk/gcsen/CRM_Water_Factors_Supply.php):
2.5.3 Pollution
Water resources are under threat through wastage. Human activities can pollute both
surface and ground water supplies. The following are the main source of water pollution:
8
• Discharge of Untreated Raw Sewage from households and factories which can cause
• Chemicals and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium which are dumped from the
factories.
• Agricultural run-offs that make their way into the rivers, streams and groundwater sources
• Littering of harmful materials such as plastics, aluminum, glass and Styrofoam in rivers,
When too much water is taken out of an aquifer, it can limit future water supplies and can
have drastic effects. Over abstraction can result into aquifer depletion and water-quality
degradation. The subsidence due to over abstraction can cause pipes to break, sink holes to appear,
and can allow saltwater to intrude inland, polluting the ground water.
This is the pipework, cleaning facilities, waste treatment plants, pumps and storage
facilities are needed to guarantee water supplies within a country or a place. Because of poverty,
people in poorer countries cannot afford such infrastructure and still suffer from the lack of access
to clean water.
9
2.6 Strategies to Increase Water Supply
(https://www.coolgeography.co.uk/gcsen/CRM_Water_Strategies_Increase_sSupply.php);
One way to manage water supply is to build huge concrete and steel structures like dams.
These dams block river and cause the water from the river to back up and flood the valley upstream
creating a large lake known as a reservoir. By building these structures, it will allow engineers to
control the flow of river and hence can be used to store water during wet season and be consumed
Water schemes simply move water from an area of surplus in a country to one which has a
deficit. This can take place either through gravity systems or large pumping stations, and be moved
in canals or pipes.
2.6.3 Desalination
Desalination is the process of removing salt and other minerals existing in seawater to
produce a drinkable water. It is used in the places where fresh water supplies are short but has an
abundant supply of seawater to supply a community with fresh water for household and
agricultural use.
The pipelines of a water distribution system can be divided into three functional categories:
trunk mains that convey water in bulk from the source, usually to a service reservoir; principal
10
feeder mains, or principal mains that convey a relative large amount of water from the reservoir
into the areas of consumers; and distribution mains that supply water to consumer’s connection.
Distribution mains are designed to meet the hourly variation demand of the consumers.
The pipelines of distribution system normally comprise the largest capital asset that is possesses
by an undertaken. The water supply system design shall consider the functional aspects of the plant
layout, access roads, site grading, site drainage, walks, and driveways.
According to the Rural Water Supply Design Manual, the following are the factors in
The friction head loss is dependent on the flow characteristics of pipes. Friction loss is a
power loss and thus may affect the operating costs of the system if a pump is used.
Select the pipe with a working pressure and bursting pressure rating adequate to meet the
operating conditions of the system. Standard water pipes are satisfactory usually only in low
2.7.3 Durability
Select the type of pipe with good life expectancy given the operating conditions and the
soil conditions of the system. It should have an expected life of 30 years or more.
Select the type of pipe that is suited to the type of soil in the area under consideration. For
instance, acidic soil can easily corrode G.I. pipes and very rocky soil can damage plastic pipes
2.7.5 Availability
11
Select locally manufactured and/or fabricated pipes whenever available.
Aside from the initial cost of pipes, the cost of installation should be considered. This is
affected by the type of joint (such as screwed, solvent weld, slip joint, etc.), weight of pipe (for
ease of handling), depth of bury required, and width of trench and depth of cover required.

CHAPTER 3
3.1 Background
The majority of the land of Barangay Magpayang is flat and the only uphill side is in the
north part of the area. The uphill side of the barangay is utilized mostly by the school, SSCT, where
the school used it for livestock raising area because this school offers agricultural courses. And the
other uphill side is the forest or the idle land. The south side of the barangay is used form farming.
The water in the farm is from the irrigation system. And the south boundary of the barangay is the
Mainit lake.
This barangay belongs to type IV climate, so the rainfall is eventually distributed through
the whole year. However, there are some cases that more storms appear on the last quarter of the
year. And no doubt that in these months’ fresh water supply is interrupted by many problems. Like,
pipes breakdown or cut pipes connecting from the source to the reservoir because of some flash
floods in the mountain where the pipes are located. And this will result to no water supply in the
Purok 2, the area where we want to design a water system, is flat and 200 meters away
from the reservoir. The reservoir is located in the uphill area of the barangay in north side and
. Purok 2 has 45 total numbers of households, 5 boarding house and has a total population
of 375. Almost 50% of these total households in purok 2 can’t get enough fresh water to drink and

The people in this barangay are engaged in different means of livelihood, some work in
mining, some are government employee, some are farmers, tricycle drivers and some get their
The population grew from 1635 in year 2018 to 1827 as of January 2021. The average birth
is 20 and the average death is 13 annually. The abrupt grow in population is because of the faculty
and student from the college who stay in the barangay. The age of the residents is ranging from;
26-50 which is the majority of the resident as it covers the 30% of the total population, 15-25
covers 23% of the population, 0-1yr. old is 5%, 1-10 is 10%, 10-15 is 12%, 51-60 covers 14%,
Purok 2 is composed only of household, boarding house and rice farm. And most of the
resident of Purok 2 relies on farming and fishing as their source of income. Though some residents
have a small business like boarding house and sari-sari store. The total population of Purok 2 is
375, and the age of majority of the resident is 17-30 which covers 45% of the population.
14
3.3 Basis Social Service
Since then, DSWD always extend their social service to the community with their 4P’s
program. But when the mining in the nearby places started to group bigger, they also lend some
social services to the community like feeding program, giving of school supplies, scholarships and
other.
The water supply in the barangay is from the mountain in the neighboring municipality.
There is one reservoir, canals along the street and irrigation. And this one reservoir is the only
source of fresh water for the whole community which is obviously not enough. Though there is
lake in the south area but it is not qualified as source of drinking and domestic water.
Floods occurs in the lower area of the barangay near in the Mainit lake, which is normally
happens which there is heavy rainfall. And the lower area is the rice farm so when it floods the

METHODOLOGY
This chapter deals with the place of the study and the method which will be used in the
The study was conducted at Purok 2, Barangay Magpayang, Mainit, Surigao del Norte.
Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 50.2 meters or 164.7 feet above mean sea level.
Fig 4.1 shows the location of the study area – Purok 2 Magpayang, Mainit, Surigao del Norte.
The design of the water distribution system in this study is in Level II of water service level
which comprises a reservoir, a source, a piped distribution network and communal faucets, usually,
one faucet serves four to six households within the radius of 25 meters. Generally suitable for rural
fringe areas where houses are clustered densely to justify a simple piped system. The design period
16
of the project is 10 years. The number of consumers and the water demand in this area are based
on the design period of the project and the base year is 2020.
The first step in designing a Level II water system is to determine the water demand of the
population of the water system project. The water supply should be sufficient to cover both the
existing and future beneficiaries (RWS Volume 1, 2012). In this study, there is no definitive data
available on the water consumption in the community, then the water consumptions will be based
on Rural Water Supply Design Manual Volume 1. For domestic water demand which is expressed
in litre per capita consumption per day, the unit consumption assumption recommended for Level
II domestic usages in rural areas is 50 lpcd. Then, the daily demand of the community will be
determined. By the discharge taken from the source and the calculated water demand of the
RWS Volume 1 also stated that Level II water system is generally recommended for rural
and urban fringe areas where houses are clustered in sufficient density to justify a simple piped
system. The beneficiaries still go to the supply point or communal faucet to fetch water.

Table 5.1 comprises the actual data of Purok 2, Barangay Magpayang. The historical
population growth rates of the municipality/ city/ barangays are needed as the basis for population
projections (RWS Volume 1, 2012). The data used in the growth rate of Purok 2, Barangay

In this section, the designers used factor of safeties in designing the water system project.
The design life of the project is essential in considering the existing and future consumers.
This number serves as a factor of safety in computing daily water demand in Table 5.3.

Capacity of Reservoir
The capacity of the reservoir has to be determined. The reservoir is necessary if the water
demand is greater than the water supply. Table 5.7 shows the calculation whether reservoir is
necessary or not.

The difference between Total Demand and Total Supply is Positive. Hence, construction
of Reservoir is not necessary. The group, however, will still use reservoir for the sake of safeness

The design flow is smaller than the base flow. Thus, the designers conclude that the water
supply system can sufficiently provide water for the target beneficiaries.

of the beneficiaries within that Tap Stand. Tap Stand 1, Tap Stand 2, and Tap Stand 3 have the
same number of faucets while the Tap Stand 4 has 2 faucets due to smaller number of beneficiaries.

Note that in choosing a pipe, choose the pipe with a smallest head loss because according
to RWS Volume I, the larger the pipe, the smaller the head loss. Based on the calculations in Table

Water Pumping System
In designing the water system having water source located at lower elevation than the area
of supply, water pump is necessary in order to sufficiently transport the water to the distribution
system or the beneficiaries. It is also crucial to determine the capacity of the pump to be used
because the upward flow of the water depends on the capacity of the pump. Economical choice of
From the actual measurements, the followings are the given quantities:
Head loss per 75mm using Table 11.1 of RWS (Page 11.5, Vol.1):
Q = 2.00 li/s D = 75 mm HF = 0.32m/100m
0.32𝑚
Total Head Loss (HL) = HF × (Pipe Length) = ( 100𝑚 ) (2,040𝑚) = 6.528 𝑚
Thus, the designers will use a water pump having a capacity of 1.101 hp or 2 hp for
future security of strength.
45
Design of Intake Box
The construction of the Intake Box should be done with the consideration on efficient use
of water from the source. Moreover, the design volume of water intake shall, as standard practice,
be set at the design daily maximum water service volume with ten percent (10% or so of a safety
factor).

Cost Estimation
Cost Estimation is the approximation of the cost of a program, project or operation. The
cost estimate is the product of the cost estimating process (Wikipedia, 2012). It is an approximate
prediction of how much money is needed to complete a project. It’s important to accurately
estimate the costs as it will help you assess whether the project is feasible. In short, accurate cost

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 Conclusion
The rising demand of water and lack of supply in Purok 2 Magpayang drove this project to
be implemented. Given the results of the design and estimations of the Level II Water Distribution
System in Purok 2 Barangay Magpayang, Mainit, it is concluded that the said project will help the
The project will cost Php 2,073,142.788. It comprises the over-all construction and
materials needed in the water distribution system. It will benefit the current 375 people living in
6.2 Recommendations
Water is a valuable resource that needs to be sustained. Every person has a responsibility
on saving and educating others about water conservation. It is recommended that people should be
educated in the discipline of water to prevent the over usage of the resource.
Since Lake Mainit is one of the largest resource of water in the area, it is recommended to
build water treatment facilities in the future to ensure water quality and safety. In addition, the
researchers recommend to the future studies in this area to have widen the scope of the water
distribution system so that it can benefit the nearby communities that is also suffering from the
