Design of level II water distribution system in Ugpaan, Boston, Davao Oriental

Abstract

This research is for the efficient design of a water distribution system to tackle the insufficient water supply in Barangay Ugpaan, Boston, Davao Oriental. Through the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Philippine government created the “SALINTUBIG” Program, also known as the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat, to provide adequate water to every Filipino community that struggles with water scarcity. This research design study was made to bridge the successful implementation of the program by carefully designing the water distribution system based on the profile data and water demand of Barangay Ugpaan. The primary intention of this research is to aid the community by providing a complete set of plans for the reservoir, including its pipeline distribution. Various software applications like AutoCAD, EPANET & Microsoft Offices were used. EPANET was used in designing and hydraulic analysis. Design output is presented to the DILG and the Local Government Units (LGU). The output of this research is a Detailed Engineering Design (DED) of a level II water distribution system.
