THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS

Background of

(Federer, 2004).

Data Gathering Procedure

1. Describing and assessing the actual condition of the study area. To attest the truth, if the image from the Landsat imagery is reliable, asking the community about the condition of the area from the past years, and out-trotting is being conducted.

2. Gathering secondary climatic data. Secondary data will be collected from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) specifically the stream discharge and Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) which the parameters are Temperature minimum, Temperature maximum, precipitation, and solar radiation. These data are the variables principally needed to be used in Brook90 model.

3. Modelling hydrological data using Brook 90 Model. After the data being gathered, it will be processed in the Brook90 hydrological model to analyze water balance (Seepage, Evaporation, and flow).and through this model, the water quantity for the future can be predicted.

Statistical Treatment of

Figures and tables were also presented in this chapter with corresponding interpretation.

The Size of the Area of Lipadas Watershed when Analyze According to each Land Cover

In this study, the size of the area of Lipadas watershed in terms of closed forest – broadleaved, open forest – broadleaved and other lands which compose of cultivated annual crop, cultivated perennial crop, built up area, fishpond and wooded land or shrubs, were measured and analyzed with the total of 16,796 hectares. Table 1 reveals the total size of the Lipadas watershed in terms of closed forest – broadleaved, open forest – broadleaved and other lands which compose of cultivated annual crop, cultivated perennial crop, built up area, fishpond and wooded land or shrubs, and figure 2 shows the whole map of Lipadas watershed with corresponding land
