Bathymetric survey, sometimes referred to as fathometric survey is a type of
hydrographic survey that maps the depths and shapes of underwater terrain of
different bodies of water (ocean, rivers, streams and lakes) to illustrate the land
that lies below. Bathymetric surveys require a combination of hydrographic and
topographic methods. Topographic method is performed to map the areas
above the water surface particularly the shorelines using a total station or range
finder while hydrographic method maps the underwater terrain using an echo
sounder or a line and sinker equipped with a GPS. The underwater topography
elevations (depths of sea bed as referenced from the water surface elevation)
and shorelines elevations are merged into a digital terrain database as a single
map.Sedimentation is a natural process. Sediment is a naturally occurring
material that is broken down by process of weathering and erosion and is
subsequently transported by the action of wind, water or by the force of
gravity acting on the particles. Over a period of years and without
sustainable management, the sediment deposits will gradually displace
the volume previously used for water storage, until eventually the
reservoir becomes completely filled with sediments. As water storage
volume is lost, the beneficial uses that depend on storage — such as water
supply and flood control- also decline and will eventually be lost. The
reduction/loss of water capacity due to sedimentation is being felt in all
dam structures.
One method of determining the rate of sedimentation in reservoirs is
through bathymetric survey. It involves measurement of the river bed
topography at a specified time interval and determining the available
water capacity of the reservoir. The reduction or increase in the reservoir
water capacity which corresponds to the volume of dep
jon or scouring
of sediments is calculated as the difference between the present (2021
Bathy Survey) and the previous (2012 Bathy Survey) calculated volumes.
The Bathymetric Survey of Lumot Reservoir is in compliance to the 2021
DRWD Program of works and GCG requirement for Score Card.
The Lumot Reservoir, located in the municipality of Cavinti in the province
of Laguna is about 60 Km. southeast of Manila. The main water retaining
structures are the 30-meter high Lumot dam and 21-meter high Lumot
Dyke which are both rolled earth-fill. Flood releases from the Lumot
reservoir are made through a morning glory spillway. Additional water is
provided by Lumot to Caliraya Reservoir through the 2.2 Km. connecting
waterway.

An echo sounder equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and mounted on a
motorized rubber boat was used to determine the configuration of the reservoir bed
during the conduct of the reservoir bathymetric survey. Water depths/elevations were
measured at several points at an interval of every 10 seconds as the rubber boat
traverses on a pre-defined route. The collected data were processed and converted
into points (eastings, northings and elevations).
The echo sounder depth reading is calibrated daily using depth sounding plate prior to
the conduct of bathymetric survey to ensure the accuracy of the equipment readings.
This is to check the settings on the echo sounder and adjust sound velocities, depth
range and other parameters to conform to the actual depth. This was done daily
because sound velocity varies with water temperature and/or turbidity.
lll. Data References
Collected coordinates were in UTM and elevations were in meters above sea level (masl). The
elevation was referenced to the staff gauge located at the Lumot Spillway Area.

‘The 2021 Lumot Reservoir bathymetric data was plotted using AutoCad Civil 30 software with built in
software for contour generation. Areas for each contour starting from Elev. 270 m up to Elev. 290 m
were determined and volumes between contours were computed using end area method. The results
were then compared with the 2012 Lumot Bathy Survey by taking the difference of the surface area
(2021 - 2012). Positive (+) results mean scouring of sediments while negative (-) results mean
deposition of sediments. Tabulated below are the survey results.

Page 6 of 7Vv. Conclusion:
The 2021 Bathymetric Survey of Lumot Reservoir confirmed a reduction of 6.063 MCM
in the capacity of the reservoir (elev. 290 - 270 mas!) as shown in the tabulated result
and reservoir capacity curve which is tantamount to the sediments deposited. As
shown in the graph of net area between elevations, scouring of sediments is evident
at elevation 290 m and settlements/depositions are mostly at elevations 285 m to 281
m (with a reduction of 720,000 m? and above) and gradually receding at lower
elevations. The rate of sediment deposition is 0.67 MCM per year (2012 ~ 2021)
The scouring and depositions of the sediments from 2012 to 2021 could be attributed
to the drastic change in the land use of Lumot Watershed Areas and increasing human
activities (land development, illegal loggings/deforestation, kaingin, charcoal making
etc.). During the conduct of bathymetric survey, it was observed that majority of the
lands above the normal water level were being developed from farm lands into
resorts and business areas resulting to the alteration of the natural ground making
more susceptible to erosion. Likewise, proliferations of fish cages were observed
wherein feeds could also be a source of sediments and water pollutants.
