The document discusses watershed management and resilience in the Mandulog River Basin in Iligan City, Philippines. It describes pressures on the watershed from activities like logging, farming, and mining that have degraded the environment. Typhoon Sendong in 2011 exacerbated problems of flooding and poverty. The document proposes a master plan for the river basin using participatory mapping. It also recommends establishing a river basin council, developing a flood prediction model and software, and creating a payment for ecosystem services program to fund long-term watershed management and build resilience. Case studies from Naawan municipality demonstrate how locally-funded watershed protection programs can help green governance and adaptation.
The overall goal of this project was to develop an implementation framework for an offsite BMP program
to maximize the environmental and economic effectiveness with which the City of Wichita meets its
NPDES stormwater permitting requirements to ultimately improve water quality in the Little Ark and
Arkansas Rivers. This program aims to integrate watershed stakholders across sociopolitical bounds and
provide a sustainable funding mechanism to implement and maintain water quality practices in the rural
landscape, a critical need as watershed managers struggle to meet water quality targets (e.g., TMDLs).
Based on dialogue between stakeholders representing the watershed’s agricultural (represented by the
Little Ark Watershed Restoration And Protection Strategy program, or WRAPS) and urban (represented by
the City of Wichita’s Stormwater Advisory Board and City officials) communities and the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), which administers TMDLs and water quality permits, the
program works to optimize the placement of BMPs within the watershed for maximum water quality
benefit of the integrated system. Rural management practices tend to be less costly, thereby enabling
greater pollutant load reduction per dollar spent on BMPs in rural versus urban areas. For this reason, net
costs to urban developments participating in the offsite program should be significantly less than if
traditional urban water quality control practices were installed and maintained. A program framework was
developed in which a “sediment credit” fee is paid annually by urban developments participating in the
program to finance implementation and maintenance of offsite BMPs as facilitated through the Little
Arkansas WRAPS program. Adoption of this offsite program is anticipated to lead to greater reductions in
sediment (and other pollutant) loads leaving the watershed than could be achieved through conventional
implementation of BMPs within urban bounds to meet MS4 permit requirements. The program is currently
in its first year of implementation.

Water and Wastewater Mangement in India 2010 - SampleNetscribes, Inc.
Water is one of the most invaluable resources of nature and increasing water consumption is leading to its depletion. Various sectors across India are rapidly increasing and are actively contributing to the pollution of surface as well as groundwater. This calls for the active need of water management. Although water has been one of the most thriving and important issues amongst the government concerns, the private players are actively granting their support to market efficient techniques and equipments to manage water. The wastewater treatment market in India is growing at 20% and techniques like watershed management, rainwater harvesting, desalination, filtration, river-interlinking, effluent treatment and sewage treatment are finding huge importance in major cities which are the major contributors to water pollution in India.
The report begins with an overview of water situation and consumption structure in India across various sectors namely, agriculture, domestic and industries showing the growth in water consumption across the masses in India. This is followed by a section which depicts the amount of wastewater generated across sectors and the level of degradation.
It also highlights the lakes and water bodies that are under threat of depleting and being polluted.
The market overview section gives the size and growth of the wastewater treatment market and shows the various techniques of water and wastewater treatment. It also gives an in-depth analysis of the various techniques and their status in India. The characteristics and trends in the market have been analyzed and include increasing urbanization, initiatives taken at the corporate level, initiatives of various research and training institutes, increasing licensing agreements, various summits and seminars, initiatives for consumer awareness and public private partnerships. A brief analysis of the issues/challenges hindering growth are also highlighted including policy failures and institutional weaknesses, coordination and technological loopholes, multiplicity of organizations and inadequacy in generation of revenue to meet costs.
Various government bodies and programmes as well as initiatives by the NGOs that have been actively involved in conserving water and regulating its consumption and pollution have been showcased.
The competitive landscape provides a look into the nature of the market and the activities of the players and the level of competition between them. It also compares the private players according to the products and services provided by them. Brief profile with short description of the major domestic and foreign players is also included. Furthermore, key developments in the market over the last one year have also been highlighted.

The Case of Mandulog, Iligan Watershed
Practices
-Pressure on remaining
natural resources:
timber poaching, tree
cutting, fuel wood,
charcoal, sand & gravel
and minerals extraction;
-Destructive farming
practice: kaingin;
herbicide use
-Fish poisoning in the
river
-Weak monitoring and
implementation of
programs
UnderlyingCauses
-Poverty
-Lack of natural
resource policies
enforcement &
regulation of practices
-Lack of support service,
coordination
-Accessibility issue
-Peace and order
problem
-Overlapping political
boundaries
-Land conflicts
12. Why the River Basin
Approach?
Because flow of water from the top (head waters)
down to the lowlands and sea is along the river basin
boundary & not along political boundaries
What is a River Basin?
It is the largest unit of a watershed starting from the
headwater down to the river mouth bordering the sea
What is a Watershed?
Is a land area where water from rain is collected, stored
and drained from a stream or river network to a common
outlet (main stream or river)
13.

15.
16. Why prioritize Mandulog River Basin?
This was the area which rank the highest casualty
in all of the basins traversing Iligan city during TS
Sendong
Most of Iligan city is inside the Mandulog River
Basin
The downstream portion of the Mandulog River
Basin is heavily populated
If left unmanaged, we expect growing
magnitude of flood for the following reasons:
Narrow plains & steep relief
Dominantly steep slopes
Dwindling & misplaced forest cover
17. TYPHOON WASHI (SENDONG) – a result
of environmental degradation, conflict
& poor governance – exacerbating
poverty
18. The Logs and Uprooted Trees: shows
the state Forest and watershed of Iligan
7 Km stretch of logs in the coast
of Iligan after Typhoon Sendong
21. What are we to do?
Master Planning
Understand the socio-biophysical conditions of the basin w/c serve as the
basis for managing the basin towards sustainable development & disaster
mitigation
We will be using a Participatory 3-Dimensional Mapping Model
Integrate & harmonize different activities among different groups to come
up with a unified goal for sustainable development & disaster mitigation
Organize a Council
Because the basin include other upland LGUs
This means we could not do master planning or worse properly mitigating
flood apart from their collaboration
While flood structures may help in the short term but it will become obsolete when
there’s continuing degradation in the uplands
Develop a Flood Prediction Model & Software System
Establish a Payment for Environmental Services (PES) for
sustained management of the basin
22.
23.
24.
25. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Come up with a Flood model
Conduct research
The Model needs to be programmed into a software
Since disaster comes quickly, the flood prediction system
must be automated and fast if possible in a matter of seconds
The Project Noah platform could be used but it does not
cover the whole framework; what we need is to interface and
integrate the flood model into the Project Noah so that in one
or few clicks the impacts and the solution to the impacts is
made available
The software must have animation function for maximum
visualization
The software must be user-friendly and web-based for wider
utility and accessibility
It must be geo-coded to individual residents for it is friends &
relatives that we want to know if they have been affected
