TI - Development of small impounding reservoir map for Barangay Parado Dingras, Ilocos Norte PY - 2024/// CY - City of Batac : PB - MMSU, N1 - UTHESIS (Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering); Bibliography: leaves 58-63 N2 - This study aims to conduct research about the optimization of water resources and reservoirs to improve the agricultural condition and water availability in Barangay Parado, Dingras, Ilocos Norte. The purpose of this research study is to create maps that specify the suitable locations for small impounding reservoir around the barangay. To comprehensively evaluate the suitable locations of small impounding reservoirs in Barangay Parado, Dingras, Ilocos Norte, this study used a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approach. The qualitative method of this study involves the suitability factors adapted from past studies and the data gathered from the interviews and survey questionnaires conducted from the experts' perceptions related to this study. The quantitative method is the qualitative data collected, converted into numerical values to analyze the modeled suitability factors of the study area using the concept of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method. The results of this study are the maps created using the factors and values generated in the Geographic Information System (GIS) which is divided into two categories, the thematic maps and factored maps. The best locations for small impounding reservoirs are summarized in the Suitability Map and Location Map in this study. In conclusion, the area with highly suitable zone for small impounding reservoirs are located in the western part of the map which is 22.50% of the whole area of the barangay. Within these zones, 52 optimal locations were identified for Small Impounding Reservoir construction. These findings were significantly influenced by both land use and rainfall on the overall suitability for SIR construction ER -
