METHODOLOGY

PHYSICAL METHOD

INSTALLATION OF MATERIALS

The spring is already renovated and captured so some of the

parameters and material can already be found at the spring source so there's

no need of installation of some materials like rain gauge and V notch.

SPRING DISCHARGE

Springs are often captured for distribution of running water to storage

tanks or individual households in the interest of convenience, water quality

protection, and public health (Fry 2004). Direct physical measurement of

spring discharge is not always possible in spring protection systems designed

principally for the purposes of flow transport and water quality protection. Flow

may be diverted from an open spring pond into a distribution pipe or channel,

or the spring source may be covered and diverted through a closed piping

system from source to end user, a downstream measurement or used of

stopwatch and volume cylinder may be the most practical option if the flow line

includes junction boxes or other pressure breaks and direct measurement is

not possible at the spring source itself. Daily monitoring will be conducted as

much as possible ,the needed data on the past years will be simulated by the

used of theoretical formula .

RAINFALL MEASUREMENT

The rainfall data measured using rain gauge installed at the spring source

area, daily monitoring will be conducted as much as possible from the time

frame of the study.
