The Ecosystems and Riverbasin Approach

Page 12: Watershed Management Green Inclusive Growth

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)

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

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

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

Concept of PES To pay people or groups for adopting practices that will help

mitigate natural disaster This includes :

People or groups that protect and expand forest cover The River Basin Management Council

Source of Fund Part of water rates e.g. Php 1/cu.m./subscriber Real Property Tax CSR of Industries & quarry operators P.01/kwh from NPC 10% EXCISE TAX share REDD+

Monitoring mode GPS as DTR for Forest Guards Real time & spatial monitoring via UAV

CHALLENGE

LIMITED LGU CAPACITY

Page 39: Watershed Management Green Inclusive Growth

Low Income and IRA Dependent LGU-Naawan

Locally Sourced Revenues to Total Income

Computation: (Amount of locally

sourced revenues/Total LGU Income) x 100

IRA dependency is slightly higher compared to municipalities of the same income class and national average

Locally Sourced Revenue Level Locally Sourced

Revenue Level Amount of Locally

Sourced RevenueHigher than the

average of 4th class municipalities but lower than the National Average

LGU-Naawan PES SECTION 87. Development of Trust Fund for

Watershed and Reforestation. There shall be created a Trust Fund for Watershed and Reforestation Program of the municipality of Naawan to ensure sustainability of water supply. The accumulated fund generated from the One Peso per cubic meter (P1.00/cu.m) as “add on” to the water bill by the Naawan Water System Services Consumers as reflected in their monthly water tariff bill shall accrue to the said Trust Fund and shall be utilized for the said purpose.

Average yearly collection of P350,000.00 Household served – less than 2,000

Tips in PES – Naawan Water System Experience

Improve services FIRST – Water System Good Social Marketing - Anchor arguments on

Solid Ground and Communicate it Well TIMING - Impose new or additional fees and

charges on the first and second year of the term NOT on the 3RD year

Institutionalize and NOT “POLITICISE” PES - Make Offices as primarily accountable on PES Implementation and Management Not Politicians

Organize LGU PES Program Champion/s Make PES Program as CDP-ELA Pillar Program

Thank You!

“Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.”
