PAMING, DARWIN P. Water Resource Carrying Capacity with Recharge and Recoverable Groundwater Estimation of Cavite, Philippines. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Prof. Noel A. Sedigo.
The study was conducted from January 2016 to May 2017 in the Province of Cavite. The general objective of the study was to assess the carrying capacity of water resources in the Province of Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1. identify the groundwater resource background of the Province of Cavite; 2. determine the estimated recharge and recoverable groundwater of the Province of Cavite; 3. determine the water consumption various sectors (domestic, industrial, agriculture, and recreational) in the Province of Cavite. 4. calculate the water resource carrying capacity of the different cities and municipalities of the Province of Cavite; and 5. determine the potential water conservation strategies of the different sectors in the Province of Cavite.
Cavite has a current population of 3,678,301, is the premier industrial province of the country, and depends on groundwater for 92.7% of its water needs. The groundwater
supply and the water demand of the different sectors (domestic, agricultural, industrial, and recreational) were obtained from the Cavite Integrated Water Resource Management Master Plan of the province. Recharge and recoverable groundwater were estimated using the empirical method of the Modified Chaturvedi Formula. The water resource carrying capacity (WRCC) of Cavite was computed using the Comprehensive Water Use per Capita Method.
The computed groundwater recharge of Cavite in 2012, using the Modified Chaturvedi Formula, is 1,284.04 MLD, while the recoverable groundwater is 898.74 MLD. The computed WRCC of Cavite in 2012 (1,683,263) shows that the province was “water resource insufficient”, with a status of -2. Cavite was 95.05 percent overloaded with human population. There were eight “water resource sufficient” areas (Silang, Amadeo, Tagaytay City, Alfonso, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Indang, Magallanes, and Mendez), two “generally balanced” areas (Maragondon and Ternate), and 13 “water resource overload” areas (Cavite City, Kawit, Noveleta, Rosario, Bacoor City, Imus City, Dasmarinas City, Carmona, Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Trece Martires City, Gen. Trias City, Tanza, and Naic), in Cavite in 2012.
Generally, the Province of Cavite is insufficient in groundwater resource. Water conservation measures and effective implementation of water management policies are recommended.
