INTRODUCTIO

• Marteleira R. et al. (2017)’s main

concern is the Climate Change.

• Rainfall patterns have something to

do with water alterations.

• Resilience regarding water scarcity

was discussed properly.
 Introduction (Critique)
• Climate change is a global problem that needs
proper surveillance day by day.

• You need to find more alternatives for water

resources other than the sources that the
government offers.

• During crisis, stay vigilant to the weather, because it

has a tremendous effect on peoples daily lives.
Case Study
Presentation

• The Republic of the Philippine’s

condition on climate change.

• Increment of Visayas’ Tropical

Cyclone Frequency.

• City of Tacloban’s calamity that

happened on November 8, 2013.
Case Study Presentation (Critique)
• Marteleira R. et al. (2017) wants to spread
awareness about the water scarcity in Tacloban’s
calamity.

• The Local Government Unit does not prioritize the

people involved in the casualty.

• The goal of the research is to quantify the impacts of

Climate Change on the hydrological system on which
Tacloban relies for water supply purposes.
Case Study
Presentation

• The Republic of the Philippine’s

condition on climate change.

• Increment of Visayas’ Tropical

Cyclone Frequency.

• City of Tacloban’s calamity that

happened on November 8, 2013.
Materials And
Methods

• In the Material and Methods, Soil and water

assessment tool (QSWAT) was being used in
replicating Tacloban's water lines behavior
under climate change impacts.

• In the journal it is stated some examples and

elaborates what the applications can do.

• It is good thing that the authors shows to the

reader on how to use the application in every
step in order to understand it.
Data Sources

• The data based and extracted from other

country, hence the record is not available
in Tacloban.

• In the journal some acronym are not

understandable.

• The data source was clearly and

concisely stated in the journal.
Advantages on Sources of data and Short
Analysis

• It started from siting the importance of

presenting such data and how the data is
extracted from the findings.

• It also sited different quotations (facts) about

the journal that were used from past
experiments and journal used by other
hydrologists.

• The journal discussed how to get the monthly

and annual readings of the different methods
and scenarios
Advantages on Sources of data and
Short Analysis

• The different equations were discussed very well!

• The data obtained in different processes were

compared to the real empirical observations.
Disadvantages on Sources of data and Short
Analysis

• 1 citation from past experiment (Diaz-Nieto &

Wilby, 2005), said that one method used failed.

• The QSWAT modeling results for Tacloban were

calibrated using a series of observed monthly
average flow gauge records for the Sapiniton
Gauging Station, from 1985 to 2003 ( 18 years )

• There were no flow measurements available for

Binahaan, Pongso, and Cabayugan Rivers
 SUMMARY

• Different equations were discussed very well!!

Discussion of each formulas that have been used
were very clear and it was also stated that the use of
equations does not overlap meaning the efficiency of
each formula is maximized.
RESULTS

• The Temperature and Rainfall from 2020 is projected to increase by the

time of 2050.

• Based on the table, Rainfall is assumed to increase in all seasons except

from March to May (MAM).

• Temperature are expected to be the highest in March to May.

RESULTS

• Daily precipitation records for the Baseline series were arranged to obtain the total annual
and annual daily maximum series.

• Total annual rainfall was adjusted using Gaussian distribution function.

• Daily maximum rainfall was adjusted using Gumbel Law.

• The data's of each adjustment was validated using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Qui-
squared test.

• Both test resulted positive.

Hydrological Modeling with QSWAT

• Most Relevant Watershed are

1, 3 , and 5.

• Most common land use is

cropland

• Mostly mix of crops and

wood, also with small
percentage of forest.

• Beneficial for a watershed to

have non- urban occupation.
Modeling Calibration and Validation

• The ratio between these runoff series (USAID and

QSWAT series) was of 0.79, which is consistent with
ratio between the compared sub basins areas of
0.72.

• Based on these satisfactory correlations, it was

assumed that no further calibration measures were
required and that the modeling results were valid
and trustworthy.
 Resilience Analysis

• The resilience of Binahaan, Pongso, and Cabayugan

Rivers as water sources for Tacloban was evaluated

• Binahaan River, during the March to August period,

cannot be considered a resilient water source.

• Binahaan River supplying Tacloban City and

neighboring municipalities,and a catchment up north
to supply the resettlement areas.
 Resilience Analysis (Critique)

• The Resilience Analysis was properly written. It was

easy to understand.

• It provides data to backup the proposed alternative

solution

• It was not mentioned how much will be the money

involved in this alternatives.
 Conclusion
• Tacloban’s regional hydrological system was
modeled using QSWAT to evaluate the impacts of CC
and thus assess these water resources’ resilience as
supply sources.
• Pongso and Cabayugan Rivers in northern Leyte can
represent a complementary water source to supply
the new resettlement areas.
• design and sizing of dams
• encouraging consistency between modeling outputs
and field data
 Conclusion ( Critique )

• The conclusion was well written. It was easy to

understand.

• They conclude based on the data they've gathered.
