Name of Project:

Expansion of Irrigation Systems

Project Cost:
The estimated Cost of the Project is Php 6,000,000. Project costs of other irrigation
facilities varies from the size of the head and the horsepower required for the desired
output.

Brief Description:
This proposal is about the installation of different irrigation facilities in the farms of the of
the Municipality. These irrigation facilities will enhance the productivity of our farmers
and also decrease the need for laborers to carry heavy buckets of water for irrigation
purposes.

Program Components:
All barangays or areas with rice and high value crops in the Municipality of Monreal will
be the target beneficiaries of these project.

Program Implementation:
 Department of Agriculture – Regional Agricultural Engineering Department
 LGU- Office of the Municipal Agriculturist
 LGU- Municipal Engineering Office

These programs shall be implemented under the direct supervision of the Agricultural
Engineering Division of Region V, Bureau of Soil and Water Management, and Office of
the Municipal Agriculturist.

Proponent:

Office of the Municipal Agriculturist

Justification:
Considering the insufficiencies of water supply, our farmers and laborers cannot fully
function in their fields. It highly affects the production costs which also limits the
potential income of the farmers. If we have sufficient water supply, rice farmers can
plant twice a year giving them more income and there is a possibility for expansion of
farms which will help the government for the food sustainability and sufficiency.

Intended Beneficiaries:
Farmers with areas that are not irrigated or do not have sufficient water supply for their
farms. This will also give the farmers the opportunity to produce off-season crops to get
better farm gate price.

Program Term:
These projects are site specific, therefore, the program term will depend on the most
appropriate irrigation facility for the particular area.

Target Output/Success Indicators:

1. One of the success indicators of these projects is low production costs which will
ensure the increase in profit of our farmers and availability of irrigation water.
2. There is high socio-economic development. They will improve the lives of the
farmers and give better education for their children.
3. The increase in production will suffice the government’s requirement for food
sustainability and sufficiency.

Possible Risks:
The possible risks in these projects will decrease need for labor and natural calamities
that could affect the performance or may damage the facilities and the peace and order
situation in the municipality.
