II. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

i. Number of houses in my community (Sitio Valderama, Ramon Magsaysay,

Aborlan, Palawan)

 There are 75 houses in my community.

ii. To get the population assume 6 people per house based on the number of
houses.

 6 x 75 = 450

iii. Assume linear growth for design period of 20 years. Get the growth rate from
municipal office or based on the previous population census and the latest census.

Positive growth rate considering 2020 census: 2.37%

Total population in 2020 is about 450 persons
Compute population in year 2040:

Pop future = Pop present (1 + gr/30yrs)n

2.37 20
Pop future = 450 (1 + )
30
Pop future = 2058.93

iv. Calculate the forecasted population after 20 years. One of the bases in the
design of water storage/reservoir.

 There will be 2058.93 people after 20 years, assuming 6 people per

household, estimated households will be 343 households.

v. Count all establishments in your community apply linear growth rate and get
their water demand considering the design period. Classified them either;

A. Residential
Estimated water consumption of one (1) person per day is 90.09
liters.

lit lit
P future = 2059 persons x 90.09 day = 185,495.31 day or 185.5 m3
2058.93
Number of households = 6 members = 343 households
Water consumption per households in cubic meter:

185.5 m3 cubic meter

343 households = 0.54 households

B. Commercial
Commercial Establishments
Type Number of Establishments
a. Supermarkets 0
b. Groceries/ Dry Goods Stores 0
c. Sari-sari stores 10
d. Auto Supply and Motorparts 0
e. Distributors, Dealers of Various 0
Products
f. Restaurants 0
g. Furniture Shops 0
h. Livestock and Poultry Supply Stores 2
i. Computer Shops/ Internet cafe 0
j. Buy and Sell Stations 0
k. Water Refilling Station 1

(13 standard toilet) 10liters/flush*40flush = 5,200liters/day

2*100liters/day/seat*13seats = 2,260 liters/day = 2.6 m3/day

Note: Average water consumption of one water refilling station in my community per
day is 10 cubic meters.

C. Industrial (e.g Handicraft)

Industrial/manufacturing establishments are not present in the community and not

expected within the given period of time.

D. Institutional
A. Health
Type Number
a. Health Center 0

B. Education

b. Primary/Elementary 1 0 1
c. Secondary/High School 0 0 0
(48liters/day/student) 1*30students*1room = 1,440 liters/day = 1.44 m3
(18liters/day/student) 1*30students*6rooms =3,240 liters/day = 3.24 m3

C. Sports and Recreational Facilities

Type Number
a. Covered Courts 1
b. Gymnasium 0
c. Parks/Plaza 1
d. Others (specify) Basketball Court 1
Multi-Purpose Building 1

4 standard toilets, 10liters/flush *100flush = 4,000liters/day = 4 cubic meter

D. Religious Groups
Religion Percentage to Population
Roman Catholic 100
Born Again 50
Back to Christ 0
Pentecostal 0

Pfuture = Ppresent (1+NK)

Pfuture = 150 (1+ (20) (0.0237))
Pfuture = 150 persons * 17.8liters = 2670 liters = 2.67 m3

E. Agricultural (e.g Poultry/Livestock Farms)

Type Number
a. Poultry 2

2 standard toilets, 10liters/flush *100flush = 2,000liters/day = 2 cubic meter

vi. Calculate the total water demand in your community adding all water
consumers to get the design capacity of reservoir and distribution line.

Distribution of Land by use Total Water Demand (m3/day)

1. Residential 185.5 m3
2. Commercial 12.6 m3
3. Industrial 0 m3
4. Institutional 11.35 m3
5. Agricultural 2 m3
Grand Total 211.45 m3

Grand Total: 211.45 m3/day
