Philippines is a tropical country which consists of two seasons, the wet and the

dry season. During wet season, most of the day on a week occurs a moderate to heavy

rainfall creating a water runoff on the surface. According to Philippine Atmospheric,

Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration – Department of Science and

Technology (PAGASA – DOST) the annual rainfall of the Philippines varies from 965 to

4,064 millimeters annually. Eastern and northeastern part of the country receives the

greatest amount of rainfall while the southern portion receives the least amount of rain.

Surface runoff in urban areas is a primary cause of urban flooding, which can

result in property damage, damp and mold in basements, and street flooding. This,

leads to business and economic disadvantages or ease.

While on dry season, water level on dam and water falls were dropping off

slowly. Specially, during El niño phenomena which long drought will be expected. As results,

most of the hydropower plant will reduce their services and decreases their power

distribution through power interruptions like rotational brownout.

Research for new and innovative ideas and studying the available resources that
