1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Community Water Replacement Plan is SSMCI’s SMMCI’s initiative in line with its commitment to
provide sustainable alternative water sources to its host communities particularly those whose current
water sources will inevitably be affected once open pit and associated mine infrastructure
developments commence. The plan embarks in continuous exploration of surface and groundwater
through mapping, geo-resistivity survey and drilling.
The community Water Replacement Plan considers exploration and development of potential water
sources in the following order of priority:
Priority 1: Surface water or springs that can be transmitted to the community by gravity.
Priority 2: Springs and surface water that can be distributed through pumping.
Priority 3: Groundwater that can be distributed through pumping.
The plan also includes evaluation of the identified potential sources for its economic viability for
development that can provide sustainable water supply as replacement to the existing water sources
for the barangays that will be likely affected by mine development, as follows:
1. Water sources of Brgy. Timamana, Tubod (within open pit)

2. Linao spring that supplies Brgy. Macalaya and Mabini, Placer (proximal to the Mine Haul
Road)
3. Cagaasan Spring that supplies Brgy. Boyongan, Placer and the Placer Water District
(proximal to the Mine Haul Road)
4. Two springs which are the main water sources of Brgy. San Isidro, Tubod (located at the toe
of the proposed Waste Rock Dump No. 2 South)
As part of the plan, three water wells were already drilled and tested and several springs were already
identified and evaluated. The result of water well drilling initially suggests, based on the discharge
capacities of the wells, that WW1 and WW3 could provide water that can sustainably supply the water
requirement of some of those above-mentioned barangays for the next 30 years. For the springs, TS4
and TS5 in Timamana are potential water sources that can be developed and can be distributed by
gravity to the residents of Brgy. Timamana, Tubod.
Theoretically, the identified water sources (TS4 and TS5?) at Brgy. Timamana are more than enough
to provide the water requirement of Brgy. Timamana and San, Isidro but this idea is not well accepted
by the majority of the Barangay Council of San Isidro. The council demanded a separate water source
exclusively for the barangay.
At Brgy. San Isidro, Tubod, direct measurement of the flow rates of six springs, which is currently
being tapped by the residents for their daily consumption, provides a total yield of 9 li/sec. However,
the two major water sources, SIT 2 and SIT 3 with a total combined yield of 5.3 li/sec, are likely to be
affected once operation of the WRD 2 South starts. This will in turn reduce significantly the current
water supply of the barangay by more than half of the current combined volume of the six springs. It
should be noted that the measurements did not account water losses from leakages in the spring
boxes. The remaining water sources outside the WRD 2 South could provide a total of 3.7L/sec
against the estimated 1.94L/sec current demand of the barangay.
Other springs that were initially evaluated include the Biyabid Spring in Sison and the Amoslog
underground River network in Placer. The Biyabid Spring can be considered as potential water source
for the proposed relocation site in Brgy. Patag, Sison but needs further assessment. Similarly, the
underground river network in Amoslog, Placer with a yield of 91 li/sec is another potential source that
can be further assessed for its potential to supplement the water requirement of Placer Water District.
2.0 STUDY AREA

The Community Water Replacement Plan mainly focused on areas wherein the water sources are
likely to be affected by the SSMCI’s SMMCI’s mine development works. These include the water
sources of Brgy. Timamana and San Isidro in the Municipality of Tubod, Brgy. Macalaya, Mabini,
Boyongan and Placer Water District in the Municipality of Placer.
The CWRP also covers the locations of potential water sources that can be developed to replace the
existing water sources that will be affected by the mine development. This includes the water wells in
Mabini, Boyongan and Timamana, springs in Timamana, Biyabid and San Isidro and underground
river system in Amoslog.
Figure No. 1 below shows the location of the existing and alternative water sources relative to the
proposed mine infrastructures.

3.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The following discussion is adopted from Anglo-American Report date January 2008, entitled,
“Boyongan Copper/Gold Deposit Mineral Resource Evaluation and Exploration Potential”.
The eastern portion of Mindanao is divided into two terranes, the Agusan-Davao Basin and the 700km
long Pacific Cordillera mountain range which appear to be separated by the Philippine fault. The east
facing Pacific Cordillera is composed of Neogene volcanic arcs overlying Cretaceous-Palaeogene
ophiolite, arc-volcanic and metamorphic basement rocks and forms part of the Philippine Arc System.
Pliocene to Quaternary volcanics in the region represent a response to the initiation of subduction in
the last six million years along the Philippine trench which lies approximately 100km offshore.
Quaternary uplift of the Cordillera has been rapid, with Pliocene limestones now widely exposed at
elevations of 1000-2000m.
The Agusan-Davao Basin is a north-south trending sedimentary basin comprising basal Late
Oligocene limestones overlying Palaeogene arcvolcanic basement. The Basin comprises
approximately 12,000m of sedimentary fill and includes gently folded Miocene clastic sequences as
well as Pliocene to Recent conglomerates, sands, marls and limestones. The origin of the Basin is
enigmatic, although it has been interpreted as a fore-arc basin formed during subduction beneath the
Central or Pacific cordilleras (Mitchell and Leach, 1991). Intrusions of andesite porphyry and dioritic
plutons are widespread in the Pacific Cordillera, however, recent dating by ANU-PRISE for Anglo
American has returned mid to late-Pliocene ages for most altered or mineralised intrusions (Dunlap,
2002; Camacho, 2001). The majority of
intrusions from the Pacific Cordillera exhibit andesitic to trachyandesitic compositions, but also include
a relatively minor component of basaltic andesites, dacites and monzonites of calc-alkaline and high-
K calc-alkaline affinity.
Porphyry intrusions commonly occur as plugs, dykes and sills of hornblende andesite porphyry,
generally within a 20km wide belt which includes the majority of the known epithermal gold and Cu-Au
porphyry deposits and prospects. The igneous activity is closely related to splays off the Philippine
Fault, probably because the fault exploits hotter rocks along the axial zone of the magmatic arc. The
dearth of significant volcanic edifices within the Pacific Cordillera may be attributed to either low rates
of subduction along the Philippine Trench or possibly the influence of horizontal compressive stress,
which favours intrusion over extrusion of all but highly evolved arc magmas.
Interestingly mineralization wanes northwards into the island of Leyte where volcanic edifices become
more significant, the stress regime less compressive and the magmas less hydrous and poor in
hornblende. The major structural feature of the region is the Philippine Fault, which is a sinistral-
transcurrent fault that transects the Philippine Mobile Belt from Mindanao to Luzon. The Fault is
thought to have propagated south through Mindanao during the late Pliocene to early Pleistocene in
response to the oblique collision regime between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate
(Aurelio, 2000).

4.0 PREVIOUS HYDROLOGEOLOGICAL STUDIES
SRK conducted extensive hydrogeological studies for Silangan Mindanao Mining Company Inc.
(SSMCI) for the past years. The succeeding discussion is adopted from SRK’s report entitled,
“Hydrogeological Investigations and Preliminary Predictions of Dewatering Requirements for
Proposed Block Cave Mine, Silangan Project, Mindanao, Philippines” dated July 2014.
The 2013 hydrogeological investigations build upon previous desk-top, baseline, and field studies
by ERM (2008) Aqua-Dyne (2010), and SRK (2011). The 2013 to 2014 program included an
extensive field characterization program including construction of 23 deep and 10 shallow
monitoring wells, and construction of three large-diameter pumping wells. Short-term, single-well
hydrologic tests were completed across 39 intervals in 17 coreholes or monitoring wells, and
three long-term pumping tests were monitored in multiple wells. Additionally water level changes
were continuously monitored during decline discharge in all monitoring wells as wells were put on
line starting in July 2013.
The project area is underlain by hydrothermally altered sub-volcanic porphyries intruded into a
thick sequence of basalt and basaltic breccias of the Bacuag Formation. The country rock and
mineralized breccias occur within a subsided block and are covered by a thick sequence of fluvial
and lacustrine sediments, the Tugunan “mudstone” unit, which interbed with and are eventually
overlain by andesitic flows and flow breccias of the Maniayao Formation. High water temperatures
at relatively shallow depths and hot-spring gases exsolving from groundwater suggest that a
geothermal system still exists beneath the mine site.

The data collected in the 2013 study portray shallow, unconfined and deep, confined aquifers. The
unconfined aquifer exists within the Maniayao andesites, and shows water levels to be about 50
m below ground surface (bgs). The confined aquifer exists in the basement rocks, where water
levels generally stand at about 150 to 200 m bgs. The shallow potentiometric surface generally
follows topography, and responds rapidly to rainfall events but not to stresses in the basement
rocks. The deeper potentiometric surface slopes shallowly eastward across the project area, and
responds to long-term stresses, such as the groundwater inflows to the Decline, and the pumping
tests done in 2013 and 2014.
Results from the short- and long-term testing show that all portions of the basement aquifer are
transmissive due to fracturing in the rocks. The upper andesites of the Maniayao are also highly
transmissive, whereas the lower cover sequence (the Tugunan and the mud-dominated lower
Maniayao) constitute a significant aquitard between the upper and lower aquifers in most places.
Potassic-altered porphyry in the Bayugo area shows highest hydraulic conductivity (K) values in
the basement (1.7E-03 cm/s), whereas the rocks of Boyongan are an order of magnitude lower at
1.2E- 04 cm/s. The K values in the Bacuag basalts near the Decline are intermediate in
magnitude (3.5E-04 cm/s), however, because of the great thickness and areal extent of the
Bacuag, the transmissivity of that unit dominates the groundwater flow within the project area.
Discrete faults in the mining area are numerous, and targeted tests have shown both very-high
and very-low permeability across the structures. Due to the large number of faults and fractures,
they have not been discretized in the conceptual or the numerical models.
Yearly precipitation at Silangan totals about 4.8 meters of rain per year. Groundwater recharge is
estimated from coarsely-constrained water-balance data for several of the streams draining the
north and east sides of Silangan. The data suggest that as much as 8 percent of total yearly
precipitation may penetrate the cover sequence to recharge the basement aquifer. Numerical
modeling of K values and water levels suggests that the recharge rate could vary from 6% at pre-
mining to 10% at end of mining conditions.
The following are adopted from SRK Report dated July 2014. Several studies and surveys done
for the Silangan project are described briefly below. Geological and structural compilations have
added to the knowledge base, and are both ongoing. Relevant previous studies include:
4.1 2008 Baseline Study by ERM
ERM (2008) completed a baseline study, which was partly relevant to hydrogeology. As part of the
baseline study ERM completed:
 A project area geological compilation;

 Water table measurements in open boreholes;
 An inventory of springs, and measurement of flows;
 Water quality sampling of the springs; and
 A preliminary estimate of a site water balance.
4.2 2010 Hydrogeological Study by Geotechnica
Geotechnical characterization of the area of the proposed tailing facility was conducted by
Geotechnica (2010). As part of this characterization, the following tasks were completed:
 Packer injection and falling head testing in two coreholes during drilling, to depths of up
to102 m (results of packer tests are included in parameter estimates presented in this
report); and
 Installation of 10 shallow piezometers, in which depth to water levels were measured
(locations of the piezometers and the measured water levels are included in figures and
shallow-water table maps in this report).
4.3 2010 Hydrogeological Investigation by Aqua-Dyne
Water-resource studies were completed to determine the hydrological and hydrogeological

conditions of the area of the proposed mine and the surrounding communities by Aqua-Dyne

(2010). These studies included compilation of existing data and conducting a geo-resistivity
survey to define groundwater targets for mine water supply purposes. Additionally, some very
preliminary conclusions were made about permeability of hydrogeological units based on lithology
and measured resistivity data.
4.4 2010 to 2011 Hydrogeological Study by SRK
In 2010 to 2011, SRK conducted an initial groundwater program to assess the potential
groundwater inflow rates to Boyangan and Bayugo East block caves (SRK 2011). The program
involved limited drilling and hydraulic testing, and development of an initial numerical groundwater
model.
The 2010 field program was conducted in conjunction with geotechnical drilling. Because of time
constraints, the program was limited to work in the East and West Bayugo areas, and included:
 15 packer-isolated tests in four PQ and HQ coreholes;

 Two short term (one to three hour) airlift-recovery tests; and
 Three rising-head slug tests and ten falling-head tests, including tests in previously
constructed (Geotechnica) piezometers.
5.0 EXISTING WATER SOURCES
5.1 Brgy. Timamana Water Sources
The water supply of Brgy. Timamana is currently being tapped from two springs through intake
boxes TT1 and TT7. These current water sources, as per mine development layout, are within
the footprint of the proposed open pit. The total maximum yield of the two springs is 13 liters per
second. This is sufficient enough to supply the current water demand of 3.25 L/s based on the
current barangay population of 1,992.
Photo No.1: TT1 Intake Box Photo No.2: TT 2 Intake Box
5.2 Brgy. San Isidro Water Sources
The current water requirement of Barangay San Isidro based on a population of 1,231 is
estimated at 2.16 L/sec. The water requirement is currently being drawn from six existing springs
represented by intake boxes SIT 1-6 with a total maximum yield of 9.0 L/s.
Out of the six water sources, SIT 2 (Destajo Spring Box) and SIT 3 (Cahucom Spring Box) are
within the impact of proposed Waste Rock Dump No. 2 South (WRD2) has a maximum yield of
5.3 L/sec. The two remaining spring boxes, SIT 1 and SIT-5 (Badjang Spring) will be left to supply

the water requirement of the community. Measurements of the flow rates of these 2 intake boxes
totaled to 3.6L/sec which is still above the 2.16 L/sec current consumption of the community.
Photo No.3: SIT 1 Intake Box Photo No.4: SIT 2 Intake Box
Photo No.5: SIT 5 Intake Box
5.3 Brgy. Boyongan, Mabini and Placer Water District Water Source
The Caga-asan Spring is likely to be affected by the proposed mill plant. The spring currently
supplies the water requirement of Brgy. Boyongan and Mabiini and the Placer Water District.
Interaction with the local community revealed that Mabini and Bad-as directly tap into the
Cagaasan intake box and that there is no dedicated water tank for barangay Mabini and Bad-as.
Maximum yield recorded at the spring is 13 L/s. Aside from Cagaasan Spring, the PWD also taps
at Anislagan Spring. The combined water supply from Cagaasan Spring and Anislagan Spring to
PWD is estimated at 25 L/s. This in turn is provided to the PWD consumers in the municipality of
Placer.

Photo No.7: Anislagan Spring, Intake Box
5.4 Brgy. Macalaya Water Source
Brgy. Macalaya currently taps the Linao Spring for its water requirement. Flow rate measurement
of the spring recorded a total of 18L/s while the current water requirement of the barangay is only
1.53L/s. However, the spring is within the proposed haul road and this is likely to be affected once
the haul road development starts.

Photo No.8: Linao Spring, Intake Box
6.0 ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCES
6.1 Brgy. Timamana Alternative Water Sources
6.1.1 Springs
A total of five springs were identified at the limestone area located farther east of the
proposed mine infrastructures. All springs have yields higher than the current water
requirement of the community. The highest yield was recorded at TS 2 with a flow rate
measured at 65L/sec followed by the TS 4 with yield of 13L/sec and the rest were
measured at less than 10L/sec. The TS 2, having the highest yield, is about 10m lower
in elevation than the Barangay Proper while the TS 4 has an approximate elevation
30m higher than the Barangay Proper. Tapping the TS 2 may require a pump set-up for
subsequent distribution to the community while the elevation of TS 4 is potentially
viable for distribution to the community by gravity. TS 5 is another potential source that
can be distributed to the community by gravity.
6.1.2 Water Well 3
Water well 3 was drilled as potential replacement to the current water sources of Brgy.
Timamana that will be affected by future open pit development. The discharge rate of
the well as recorded during the pumping test averaged to 16L/s. This is more than
enough to provide the water requirement of the barangay. The plan is to build an
elevated reservoir that will draw water from the well by pumping then distribute to the
community by gravity.
The initial plan for this well, once developed, is also to provide water to Brgy. San
Isidro. However the Barangay Council headed by the Barangay Captain is hesitant to
the plan and insisted that they want a separate source and exclusive for Brgy. San
Isidro.
The water well WW 03 is located at Elevation 65.0 RL and delivering maximum well
yield of 16 L/s potential alternative to the water sources of Timamana Springs TT 1 and
TT 7. Tests conducted at the well are as follows:

Actual Well Yield : 16 L/s
Static Head Above ground : 30 meter (From Elev. 65 to Elev 95 RL
Total Depth : 90 meter
Screen Length : 21 meter
Casing Internal Diameter : 200 mm (8”)
Pump Setting : 60 meter
Static Water Level : 4.46 meter
Pumping Level : 22.57 meter
Drawdown : 22.57 – 4.46= 18.11 meter
6.2 Brgy. San Isidro Alternative Water Sources
The springs that will not be affected by the proposed WRD2, based on the current water
demand of the barangay could provide a total of 3.6L/sec which is still above the 2.16 L/sec
current consumption of the community. Recent flow rate measurements conducted at the
intake boxes at Sitio Badjang, which include SIT-5, Mot-1 and Mot-2 totaled to 5.3L/s. SIT-5
currently supplement the water demand of the residents of Purok 1 and Purok 2 while Mot-1
and Mot-2 are currently being tapped by Brgy. Motorpool. It must be noted that the
measurements did not account the water leaking out of the walls and floors of the intake
boxes.
The plan is to improve the existing intake boxes and ensure that the design should collect
efficiently the water coming out of the spring. Part of the plan is to construct a single reservoir
that will distribute water to Brgy. Motorpool and San Isidro. This plan can provide water by
gravity to the residents of Purok 1, Purok 2 and the proposed relocation site. (Will San Isidro
allow to be joined by Motorpool?)
Intake boxes SIT-1 and SIT-4 with a combined yield of 2.1L/s can be improved to supply by
gravity the water requirement of Purok 3 and Purok 4, which are located at higher elevations.
In general, remaining current water sources at Brgy. San Isidro are sufficient to provide the
water demand of the current population.
6.3 Brgy. Mabini, Macalaya and Boyongan Alternative Water Source
The water well, WW 01,was drilled at Brgy. Mabini at elevation 80.0 RL. Drilling intercepts
consist of andesite porphyry (ANP) on top and brecciated basalt (BBAS) at the bottom. A
sustained pumping rate of 9.13L/s was recorded during the discharge test. The well is
intended to supply water to the barangays of Mabini, Boyongan and Macalaya with a current
combined water demand of 4.59L/s. The well could sustain the water requirement of the 3
barangays based on the projected population growth of 2.5/annum. Below is the result of the
pump test conducted on the well.
Actual Well Yield : 9 L/s

Static Head Above ground : 30 meter (From Elev. 65 to Elev 95 RL
Total Depth : 81 meter
Screen Length : 21 meter
Casing Internal Diameter : 200 mm (8”)
Pump Setting : 77 meter
Static Water Level : 9.30 meter
Pumping Level : 23.07 meter
Drawdown : 23.07 – 9.30=13 .77meter
6.4 Placer Water District (PWD) Alternative Water Sources
6.4.1 Water Well 4
The proposed water well 4 is sited at Brgy. Anislagan, Placer within the location of the
previous drill hole KESH11. Intercepts of KESH11 consist of lahar and sandstone down

to 75m depth and dominantly mudstone to a depth of 309m. As per historical account,
water strong? water rose out of the collar after piercing through a layer of aquifer within
the mudstone unit.
Water well 4 is scheduled for drilling on the second week of December by EDCO.
EDCO contract includes also borehole georesistivity survey and discharge tests.
6.5 Other Alternative Water Sources
6.5.1 Amoslog Underground Water System
The existing water requirement of Placer Water District (PWD) is being sourced from
Cagaasan Spring and Anislagan Spring. Currently, these two springs provide the PWD
an estimated inflow of 25L/sec. The Cagaasan Spring, however, is within the impact of
the open pit design, thus it will cut the water supply for PWD at an estimated rate of
13L/sec.
The current plan of SMMCI is to supplement the 13L/sec water that will be lost from
Cagaasan Spring by upgrading the intake pipeline from Anislagan Spring going to PWD
reservoir. The Anislagan Spring is currently being shared by the PWD and the
barangay. The barangay uses the water from this spring for irrigation and domestic
needs of the community. As per Aquadyne, the spring capacity is under-utilized and the
excess water could still be tapped for PWD as replacement to Caagasan Spring.
Another option, if the plan fails following the first option, is to drill water well in the
vicinity of the Anislagan Spring for the PWD.
The identified underground river/spring is approximately 30m above sea level and
approximately 25m higher than the elevation of the community of Amoslog.
Measurement of the flow rate had recorded 91L/sec, which is adequate to supply the
requirement of the community and provide the excess water to PWD.
The option is to construct a separate water reservoir for the PWD in this area and
distribute the water in separate pipelines to the coastal barangays of Placer which are
in lower elevation than the spring. In this way, PWD can just focus the distribution of
water coming from Anislagan Spring to other barangays that cannot be covered by the
water source in Amoslog.
6.5.2 Biyabid Spring for the Proposed Relocation Site in Sison
Biyabid Spring is located about 1.8ks southwest of Brgy. Biyabid, Sison. The spring is
currently being tapped by the barangay for their daily consumption. A spring box is
constructed to collect the water from the spring and a single 2 inches pipeline is
connected to the box and transmit water to the barangay. Flow rate measurement
within the pipe recorded 3.3L/s. The measurement did not account the water coming
out of the 4 inch pipe flowing freely out of the spring box to the creek.
The spring could be developed to supplement water to the local water district for
distribution to majority of the residents of Sison. This will include the proposed
relocation site in East Patag. The plan is for SMMCI to form partnership with the local
water district in the development of the spring. In turn, SMMCI could forge an
agreement with the local water district that will allow SMMCI to tap water freely from the
existing water pipeline for the proposed relocation site.

Water Sources
7.2 Placer Water District (Anislagan)
Metal concentrations were below detection limit, except for total and filterable arsenic. Arsenic
levels measured from the groundwater samples within Placer ranged from 0.001 mg/L to
0.006 mg/L which are below the maximum concentration of 0.01 mg/L specified in the
PNSDW 2007. Arsenic can be considered naturally-occurring in the groundwater although at
very low concentration. Total and fecal coliform counts were below the detection limit
(<1.1 MPN/100mL), except in GW20-FWR-CP. The total coliform count of 3.6
MPN/100ml at GW20-FWR-CP exceeded the standard value12 of less than 1.1
MPN/100mL stipulated in the PNSDW 2007. One possible source of total coliform in
groundwater is agricultural runoff, considering that a large portion of the municipality (75%) is
devoted to agriculture.
The levels of pH, conductivity, temperature, and TDS noted at GW15-WR-AP are within the
baseline data collected by SMMCI. The water from the reservoir was generally neutral
throughout the monitoring of SMMCI with recorded values ranging from 6.12 to 7.8. Three out
of the fourteen readings were slightly below the pH range (6.5 – 8.5) prescribed in the
PNSDW 2007. Temperature readings in the baseline data of SMMCI ranged from 20.4°C to
27.9°C, with the lowest temperature recorded on February 2011. The electrical conductivity of
water samples from the reservoir were recorded to be within the values of 166 µS/cm to
Turbidity and DO readings of AECOM at GW15-WR-AP are lower compared to the range of
values noted during the August 2010 to June 2011 sampling activities of SMMCI. Three
turbidity readings recorded by SMMCI were above the PNSDW 2007 maximum level (5 NTU)
for turbidity. The BOD concentration recorded by AECOM could not be directly compared with
the readings obtained by SMMCI since a higher MDL was applied by CRL in the analysis of
samples. The baseline study of SMMCI showed BOD The water quality of all groundwater
samples collected from Placer meets the PNSDW 2007 limits for physical and chemical
quality in terms of apparent color, turbidity, TDS, hardness, chloride, and sulfate. Results of
the analysis are as follows:

Table No. 5: Current and Projected Population
Projected population for 15 and 30 years were computed as referred from the current
population and using an average growth rate per year of 2.5%. The basic equation used to
determine the average annual growth rate within the last censual period (in this case from
2015 to 2045):
Pn = Po (1 + GR)n
Where :
Pn = the projected population after nth year from initial year (2015)
Po = the population in the initial year of the period concerned
= Base Year 2015 Population
GR = Using an average growth rate of 2.5 %
n = design period (number of years)

8.2 Water Consumption Calculation
The average water requirement per capita as suggested by Aquadyne for Level III house
connection is 120L/day/capita. The estimated water consumption therefore for each affected
barangay will be based on the current and projected population multiplied by 120 over 1-
factor of 15% as non-revenue due to losses and leakages, calculated as follows
Average Day Demand, ADD = Current Population x [Per capita Demand/ (1 – 15%)]

Water Demand (Factor)
Average Day Demand : Design Projected Population x [Per capita

9.1 Current Water Reservoir
As a rule of thumb, the storage tank volume (reservoir) should be at least equal to one-fourth
(25%) of average day demand of the community. The equation is;
CR = 25% of Average Day Demand, ADD
Where:
CR : Reservoir Capacity, M3
ADD : Average Day Demand, Liters/day

9.2 Current Water Distribution
9.2.1 Brgy. Timamana Water Distribution Set-up
The current water distribution set-up of Brgy. Timamana originates from two springs that
supplies water by gravity to the existing water reservoir. The existing reservoir capacity is
55.0 cu. meter. The distribution system from existing Timamana Reservoir is through 50 mm
(2”) diameter HDPE pipes and branches to a 25mm (1”) and to individual houses through a
12mm (1/2”) diameter pipe. All of the households in the barangay have access to water.
Recently, SMMCI assisted the barangay in the installation of new pipelines.
Figure No. 6: Brgy. Timamana Water Distribution Set-up

9.2.2 Brgy. San Isidro Water Distribution Set-up

The existing reservoir of Brgy. San Isidro is located at Purok 4. The reservoir was
funded by Japan International Cooperative Agency (JICA) and Department of Agrarian
Reform (DAR) to Barangay San Isidro with storage capacity of 23.0m 3. The intake
boxes in Badjang and Itum are separate reservoir that is being utilized by some
residents of the barangay.
From the JICA Reservoir, water is being distributed in a 50 mm (2”) diameter HDPE
pipes and branches to a 25mm (1”) and to individual residence through a 12mm (1/2”)
diameter pipe. However, the existing water pipelines of the are undersize and some
sections are already dilapidated.
Figure No. 7: Brgy. San Isidro Water Distribution Set-up
9.2.3 Brgy. Boyongan, Macalaya and Mabini Water Distribution Set-up
The Cagaasan intake box is currently under the management of Placer Water District.
The spring also supplies the existing reservoir of the Placer Water District located at
Brgy. Bugas-bugas. Existing pipelines connected to Caagasan Intake Box provides
water to portions of Brgy. Boyongan, Mabini and Bad-as.
The Linao intake box is under care and maintenance of Brgy. Macalaya. The water
from this spring is being transmitted via pipeline that goes straight to the reservoir
before being distributed to household by a smaller diameter pipeline.

10.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
10.1 Design Criteria and Parameters
 Demand Projection (Design Period)

15 Years Projection : (2015 – 2030)
30 Years Projection : (2030 – 2045)
 Water Consumption
Average Day Demand : Design Projected Population x (per capita
consumption/(1-NRW))
Non-Revenue Water : 15% allowance for leakages
 Per Capita Water Consumption

Classification of Usage : For Domestic consumption
Unit Consumption : Level III House connection
: 120 Liters per capita per day
 Water Demand (Factor)

Average Day Demand : Design Projected Population x( per capita
consumption/(1-NRW))
Minimum Day demand : 0.3 X Average Day Demand
Maximum Day Demand : 1.3 x Average Day Demand
Peak Hour Day Demand : 2.5 x Average Day Demand
 Design of Reservoir
Reservoir Capacity : 25% x Average Day Demand
 Design of Transmission and Distribution System

System Pressure
Minimum line pressure : 3 meters x 1.42 psi/meter of water
: 4.26 psi
Maximum line pressure : 70 meters x 1.42 psi/meter of water
: 99.4 psi
Maximum velocity of flow in pipes:

Transmission Line : 3.0 m/s.
Distribution Pipes : 1.5 m/s
Pipe Friction Head Loss : 0.5 m/km to 10 m/km.
 Design of Water Well Pump

Pump TDH : H1 + H2 + HL
Where : Depth of Pumping Water Well + Max.

H1 : Static Head from Pump Water Level to
ground Level
H2 : Static Head from Ground Level to
Water tank
HL : Pipe Friction Head Loss
10.2 Hydraulic Considerations
 The pressure in the pipes should not be greater than the working pressure of the tubing
used.
 There should never be more than 100-meters static pressure in the tubing. To reduce
pressure in the tubes, break-pressure tanks should be used.
 The pressure should never go negative in any part of the system under real flow
conditions, as this will result in a lower flowrate.
 To calculate the frictional losses in the tubing, the Hazen-Williams Equation will be used.
10.3 Design of Distribution System
 System Pressure
• Minimum line pressure : 3 meters x 1.42 psi/meter of H2O
: 4.26 psi
• Maximum line pressure : 70 meters x 1.42 psi/meter of H2O
: 99.4 psi
 Maximum velocity of flow in pipes

• Transmission Line : 3.0 m/s.
• Distribution Pipes : 1.5 m/s
 Design of Pump Discharge Transmission Line Diameter,D:
Q = A xV
Where :
Q = Discharge Flow Rate, m3/sec
= 16 Liter/sec x m3/1000 Liters
= 0.016 m3/sec
V = Maximum velocity flow in pipes, m/sec
= 1.50 m/sec for distribution line

A = Q /V
= 0.016 m3/sec. /1.50 m/sec
= 0.0106 m2
 Solve for Pipe Diameter, D:
D = 3.1416 x A
4
D = 3.1416 x 0.0106
4
= 0.0915 meter x 1,000 mm/meter

= 91.53 mm
= USE STANDARD PIPE SIZE 4” (100 mm) Dia.
10.4 Pump Transmission Piping System
As a rule of thumb, for transmission by pumping, it is advisable to assume a preliminary

head loss (hL) of about 5.0 m/km of pipeline. (As much as possible, head loss should be
limited to 10.0 m/km of pipeline for transmission by pumping.)
Normally, the sizing of the transmission main is dependent on the total storage capacity and
the way the supply is transmitted to the distribution system. The main should have at least
the carrying capacity to supply water at a rate equivalent to the maximum day demand of the
system for a given design year.

10.5 Gravity-Fed Water Distribution Piping System
The system is a conventional system using a water storage tank, distribution pipelines and a
nearby spring as source of drinking water. For a gravity system with a considerably elevated
source (e.g. highland springs), the transmission line could afford to have higher head losses
as long as the remaining pressure head at the downstream end is sufficient for the
distribution system’s needs. For a gravity system with source that is not much higher than
the distribution system, the head losses are lowered to attain sufficient pressure head in the
distribution system.

GENERAL NOTES :
Development of Springs:
The following procedures are done during the development of a spring source:
1. The site must be cleaned of weeds and all undesirable vegetation.
2. The “eye” of the spring must be enlarged by excavating the area around the hole down to
the impervious water-bearing layer.
3. Silt, rocks and other excavated materials must be removed.

4. During the excavation to enlarge the eye of the spring, underground rock formations must
not be disturbed, so as to avoid deflecting the spring to another direction.
5. Ensuring that only stones that will serve as the foundation of the spring box are piled
loosely against the eye of the spring.
6. A spring box should be constructed around the enlarged eye of the spring to protect the
spring water from contamination.
Construction Guidelines:
1. The top of the spring box should be at least 0.30 m above the highest surrounding ground
elevation.
2. The hole should have a raised edge to prevent dirty water from entering the box.
3. The outlet pipe should be at least 100 mm above the bottom of the spring box.
4. To prevent stones, rubbish and frogs from blocking the pipes, the end of the outlet pipe
inside the box should be covered with a screen.
5. The overflow pipe should be provided with a scree to prevent the entrance of insects. The
pipes must be large enough to carry the maximum flow of the spring during the wet
season.
6. The space behind the spring box should be filled with soil, the space at the bottom and at
the level with the eye of the spring should be filled with gravel or sand.
Drainage and Protective Structures:

In all cases, the spring box and source should be properly protected from contamination,
damage, and other eventualities that degrade their function as a source of water. Protective
measures include:
1. Constructing a deep drainage ditch at least 8.0 meters uphill and around the spring box to
intercept surface water that might run into the spring box.
2. Building a ridge by piling excavated soil on the downhill side.
3. Fencing the area around the spring box to keep stray animal and people away. The fence can
be made of interlink wire or barbed wire nailed to wooden posts.
4. Providing tightly fitted manholes and keeping them locked.
