4.07.02 Infrastructure: Water

Note: This is a first attempt to provide guidance in preparing the information product needed for the CLUP and is intended to be used hand-in-hand with Volumes 1 and 2. As more knowledge is gathered, the IP will be updated. Likewise, updates may be required due to new or changing land-use policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be prepared by the custodians, which may require updates.
For the latest update, please check HLURB Homepage: http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/ or contact HLURB, telephone +632 927 2698.

Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objectives of the GIS Analysis

Water is one of the great necessities of human life, which is often taken for granted. A supply of clean water is absolutely necessary for life and health, yet many people lack access to adequate water supply or can only obtain it at high prices. In many municipalities/cities, households in informal settlements are rarely connected to the network and can only rely on water from vendors at a high cost compared the tap water price. Improving access to safe water implies less burden on people, mostly women, to collect water from available sources. It also means reducing the burden of water related diseases.

This analysis monitors access to improved water sources based on the assumption that improved sources are likely to provide safe water.

The Objective is to efficiently distribute potable water to the various barangays within the city/municipality (taken from Volume IV of the old guidelines).

Step 2: Identify the Indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment

Define Planning Standards for accessibility, service provision/consumer ratio, consumer/housed service, physical condition of buildings and plot, etc. (refer to volume 2).

Proportion of the urban barangay population with sustainable access to an improved water source. This is the percentage of the urban population who use any of the following types of water supply for drinking: piped water, public tap, borehole or pump, protected well, protected spring or rainwater.
The water should be affordable and at a sufficient quantity that is available without excessive physical effort and time.
Improved water sources do not include vendor-provided waters, bottled water, tanker trucks or unprotected wells and springs.
This indicator requires planning standards as follows:
Affordable: water should not take an undue proportion of the household income, i.e. less than 10 (?)%;
Sufficient quantity: water should be available at a quantity of at least 20 (?) liters per person per day.
Without excessive efforts and time, obtaining water for the households should not take an undue proportion of the household’s time (less than one hour a day for the minimum sufficient quantity of at least 20 (?) liters per person per day).

PD 856 (Code of Sanitation)
Sec. 13 Provision for the protection of Drinking Water
b. No artesian, deep or shallow well shall be constructed within 25 m. from any source of pollution

Water Supply Typical Model System

Level	Features	Population Served	Remarks	Distance From Water Outlet To Farthest House
I	Point Source system -Shallow Well - Deep Well		For areas where houses are few and scattered	250 m
II	Communal Faucet development point source electrically driven pumps storage tanks piped distribution network with public faucets	200 households per system with 5.7 households per faucet	For rural areas where houses are closely clustered	25 m
III	Individual house connection development point source electrically driven pump storage tank piped distribution network with house faucets	1000 households and more	Densely populated urban areas	Within houses

Step 3: Create the Database

Attributes

There are 6 tables of Infrastructure Information to prepare for Step 4. Those in bold are used in the example below:

IS10 Water Sources
IS11 Water Distribution Line by Diameter and Material Used
IS12 Pumps
IS13 Communal Faucet
IS14 Current and Projected Needs by Barangay Population.
IS15 (Operating) Irrigation System

The Custodians of sector data are the LGU and the Local Water Districts.

Spatial

The object will be different types of (sector): ………… for which a specific symbol is needed. A public (sector) will have a red and a private (Sector) will have a blue color coding.

The feature type will be a point/polylines/polygon. The location will be traced by a GPS/primary survey/secondary source.
