<br/><br/> This study aims to conduct research about the optimization of water resources and <br/>reservoirs to improve the agricultural condition and water availability in Barangay <br/>Parado, Dingras, Ilocos Norte. The purpose of this research study is to create maps that <br/>specify the suitable locations for small impounding reservoir around the barangay.<br/>To comprehensively evaluate the suitable locations of small impounding reservoirs in <br/>Barangay Parado, Dingras, Ilocos Norte, this study used a mixed method of quantitative <br/>and qualitative approach. The qualitative method of this study involves the suitability <br/>factors adapted from past studies and the data gathered from the interviews and survey <br/>questionnaires conducted from the experts' perceptions related to this study. The <br/>quantitative method is the qualitative data collected, converted into numerical values <br/>to analyze the modeled suitability factors of the study area using the concept of Analytic <br/>Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method.<br/>The results of this study are the maps created using the factors and values generated in <br/>the Geographic Information System (GIS) which is divided into two categories, the <br/>thematic maps and factored maps. The best locations for small impounding reservoirs <br/>are summarized in the Suitability Map and Location Map in this study. In conclusion, <br/>the area with highly suitable zone for small impounding reservoirs are located in the <br/>western part of the map which is 22.50% of the whole area of the barangay. Within <br/>these zones, 52 optimal locations were identified for Small Impounding Reservoir <br/>construction. These findings were significantly influenced by both land use and rainfall <br/>on the overall suitability for SIR construction.
