 II.RATIONALE
Macabebe suffered floods for almost a decade of time frame.
Macabebe residents stranded on the streets or trapped in vehicles
all night after heavy rains. Over the past years, these floods have
become both more extensive and more severe as experienced at
the moment year. In order to reduce and prevent the hazards due
to flood waters, measures have been implemented through
physical measures which involve structural related works and
non-physical measures including land zoning ordinance,
education and public information (JICA, 1990 & 2005).
 II.RATIONALE
During rainy season and high tide, people experience
difficulties in travelling around Macabebe. The main
difficulties of people are: (1) purchasing necessities, (2) In
severe flooding, people who had vehicles suffered, and
the worst scenario was piling of their own vehicles, (3)
Workers and/or students are compelled to skip out on
errands.
III.OBJECTIVES
This proposal intends to propose a design of drainage
system and the specific objectives are (1) to alleviate
flooding in their barangay during rainy season and high
tide (2) to provide safer and more comfortable place for
the people in Macabebe, Pampanga (3) to provide more
opportunities to the town of Macabebe, Pampanga.
 IV.METHODS
IV.I. Research Design
The design discharge can be estimated by specific
discharge method or runoff model using rainfall data. The
runoff model was used in the study to compute urban
runoff and flooding in the study area. For the purpose of
this study, the two models were initially simulated with
and without the storage tank component in the existing
drainage system to observe the response of hydrograph
and discharge results for storm event.
 IV.METHODS
IV.II. Model Formulation
In this study, Storm Water Management Model
(SWMM) was utilized for runoff computation (Metcalf
and Eddy, 1971; Huber et al., 1992). The procedures to
evaluate the effects of detention storage used in this study
includes inputting the geographical and physical data,
estimation of coefficients for subcatchment areas and
conveyance elements.
