Summary, etc. ABSTRACT<br/>CARLOS, SHEENA LISA B., JUAN, JAY EMMANUEL S. and<br/>SUNIGA, QUENEE KATE T. 2020, "EVALUATION OF THE MMSU WATER<br/>SUPPLY SYSTEM CAPACITY AND AVAILABILITY". Undergraduate Thesis.<br/>College of Engineering, Mariano Marcos State University, City of Batac 2906 Ilocos<br/>Norte.<br/>Adviser: VIRGILIO JULIUS P. MANZANO JR.,PhD.<br/> <br/> A study was conducted to evaluate and provide solutions/recommendations to the<br/>pressing problems involving the said system. It is aimed to assess: a) the present water<br/>supply system capacities and water availability; b) evaluate the water supply system<br/>concerning the "satisfaction rating" of its clientele/consumers; c) determine the water<br/>supply and demand of selected buildings of MMSU; d) make an inventory and<br/>assessment of the physical facilities of the water supply system (the location of the pumps<br/>and rated capacities); and e) determine the operation and maintenance cost analysis of the<br/>MMSU Water Supply system as compared to the Prime Water.<br/>Pumping test was conducted twice, during the wet and dry season, to characterize<br/>the study area's underlying aquifer. Such a test was done to determine the parameters of<br/>groundwater characteristics such as transmissivity, specific yield, hydraulic conductivity,<br/>storage coefficient, specific discharge, and radius of influence. On the other hand,<br/>structured questionnaires were floated to gather information concerning the satisfaction<br/>rating on the water supply system. A physical inventory of water system accessories and<br/>components was done on the selected academic buildings to assess damaged or defective<br/>fixtures. Also, water supply and demand were determined to evaluate the capacity of the water supply system. Finally, the Water Supply System's operation and maintenance cost<br/>were estimated for comparison to the Prime Water, a water service provider in the<br/>Country.<br/> The pumping test result showed that the study area has varying transmissivities<br/>and specific yield ranging from 19.309 to 562.223 m /day and 0.021 to 0.396,<br/>respectively. It was observed that transmissivity in the western part of the study area was<br/>more uniform than the eastern part. The specific yield in the study area was found to have<br/>a mean of 0.161. The hydraulic conductivity of the study area was estimated to have<br/>16.397 m/day. The storage coefficient of the study area ranges from 0.024 to 0.315. Also,<br/>the mean obtained specific discharge for all test wells is 778.397 m/m-day. The mean<br/>radius of influence is around 55m in the study area. In groundwater recovery, the mean<br/>recovery rate of the test wells was 0.181 m/day. Generally, the aquifer parameters<br/>indicate adequate groundwater supply.<br/>Meanwhile, a survey of one hundred sixty-five (165) indicated that water supply<br/>in MMSU is rated poor for drinking purposes. Nonetheless, the water supply system of<br/>MMSU is acceptable (Satisfactory) for other purposes, such as for irrigation and washing.<br/>Water supply is generally adequate throughout the day. The quantity in the wet season<br/>can adequately supply the demand. The highest supply was 1,766m /day, while the<br/>highest demand was 522.98 m/day. During the dry season, the highest available supply<br/>was 768.312 m /day, and the lowest was 357.483m/day. Nevertheless, it was still enough<br/>to supply the demand of the selected buildings.<br/> The fixture conditions were rated good. Recommendations for improvement of<br/>the water supply system were: a) replace the old water pipelines and fixtures; b)<br/>installation of drinking fountain; c) water filtration and chlorination; d) immediate<br/>replacement of busted fixtures.<br/>Cost Analysis showed that an amount of Php14, 334,914.94 was needed to fix and<br/>replace all the damaged fixtures and pipes and to build two (2) large water tanks. On<br/>tapping the Prime water service, the University may spend an estimated amount of<br/>Php654,032 per month, including the charge of wastewater services. It was concluded<br/>that tapping the services of Prime Water would improve the water supply of MMSU in<br/>terms of quality and efficiency.<br/><br/><br/>
