Design development alternatives for Alubijid Municipal water system in Misamis oriental, Philippines using EPANET

Providing safe and clean water is a concern and responsibility of the local government unit (LGU) in the Philippines. However, this is a great challenge to the LGU because of several factors such as availability of water supply, increasing population, low or no maintenance of existing water systems, and lack of engineering expertise. The general objective of this study is to come up with design development alternatives for Alubijid municipal water supply system in Misamis Oriental using EPANET. This study consists of two major stages, namely: the modelling stage and the design stage. The former includes modeling the physical features of the existing water supply system to EPANET. The design stage focused on the evaluation of the different sustainable alternatives available. The sources of potable water include groundwater through deepwell and surface water collected from springs. The design displays information on the projected population, supply-demand analysis, hydraulic design and analysis, and alternative network design for the area.&nbsp
