Abstract

Cauayan City, Isabela is one of the country's premier agro-industrial hubs and considered as one of the Philippines' first smart cities (Smart Communications, 2019). Since urban areas, such as Cauayan City, are the hub of economic development and activity, there is a tendency for people and businesses to converge, with that, a risk analysis was done to analyze hazards for urban water infrastructures within the city. With the aid of GIS Software and gathered data, maps were generated for flood hazards with 5, 25, and 100 yr. return period, Analysis of liquefaction and ground shaking as well as drought hazard of urban water infrastructures in the City. Risk maps were generated in this study wherein water infrastructures such as drainage and water utilities located at the 4 barangays namely Cabaruan, Alicaocao, Turayong and Labinab were classified as high risk in flooding. For liquefaction and ground shaking analysis most of the barangays were classified as low risk. Similarly, majority of the barangays were classified as moderately dry and near normal for drought hazard analysis. Generally, the study demonstrated the need of an intervention to address high risk of water infrastructures from flooding at the City of Cauayan.

Abstract

Yearly, the rainy season always happens. where water is directly on the soil, roof, plants, etc. Without proper harvesting, this water may cause damage in many aspects, such as over-watering to the plants, soil erosion, bacteria, and gems that cause viruses to begin to grow if it has been tainted by dirt and other impurities. So, proper harvesting of roof rainwater is important because it will be utilized for bathrooms, laundry, garden irrigation, etc. This paper presents the average rainfall, which represents the monthly average. water availability, water demand, and water storage. As stated, the water demand is 2500 liters per day, which equals about 75000 liters per month. Wherein the amount of water that can be collected from the roof is larger than the water demand. The findings of this paper were extremely beneficial to the campus because they presented the entire details of the roof rainwater harvested in liters, which will serve as the basis for utilization. The information and communication technology building at ISU Ilagan was used as a sample in this paper.

Abstract

The Bugkalot Coffee Growers Multipurpose Cooperative (BCGMPC) as the partner industry in this CRADLE project envisioned to produce Specialty Coffee, however, their existing product had not reached specialty-grade (at least 80 cup score) which was observed to be caused by problems on drying considering their location at 800 masl high elevation with cool humid climate. Despite their use of a fuelwood-fired oven dryer (pugon), the specialty-grade quality was never achieved resulting to commercial grade price of only P300/kg. This project aimed to develop a low temperature dryer for the BCGMPC to produce specialty-grade coffee beans that could be sold at higher price even at P1,000/kg. A 2.5m x 3m x 2.5m LTD room prototype was setup in the BCGMPC coffee processing area. 100 kg of washed 18-hr fermented parchment coffee beans of Red Bourbon variety were tested and cup-scored by three certified Q-graders. Its half (50 kg) was loaded in the LTD set at 20°C and 30% RH dried at 12% in five days and was compared to the remaining half (50 kg) loaded in their existing pugon dried at 12% only for 24 hours. Results showed that for the LTD-dried parchment, cup scores of three Q-graders were 82.00, 83.25 and 83.5; aromas were flavors were peach, green apple, sweet; and jasmine, coffee flower, lemongrass; aftertastes were brown sugar, fruity, lemon. On the other hand, for the pugon-dried parchment, cup scores of three Q-graders were 79.25, 79.0, 79.0; aroma/fragrance were choco, fishy, spicy, smokey; flavors were tangerine, mild choco,caramel; and aftertaste were bitter, nutty, bready. Inorder to validate the data, testing of mixed Arabica varieties (Red Bourbon, Catimor, Catura) from Cadaclan, Barlig, Mt. Province and Robusta varieties from Coffee cooperatives in Angadanan, Isabela and Maddela, Quirino were also done in the same prototype setup at the Climate Change Center, ISU, Echague, Isabela with 82 and higher cup scores with superior aromas/fragrance, flavors and aftertastes. Germination test of 66 seeds resulted to a 92.42% germination rate. The LTD was able to attain specialty- grade that were within and beyond 80-84 cup score range of Philippine Coffee Quality Competition (PCQC) winners and alive coffee beans at 400 kWh electricity consumption.

Abstract

Climate change threatens the world with disastrous floods and droughts, with Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines among the worst-affected countries. Changes in hydrological patterns are caused by climate change, which leads to faster reservoir siltation and loss of function. Optimizing dam operation and reservoir sediment management are critical for a river basin's long-term viability. This management paper highlights our external linkages and networks with Japanese and Vietnamese universities in implementing and managing the international project "Integrated Flood and Sediment Management in River Basins for Sustainable Development". The Kyoto University transferred its technologies on flood and sediment management to Isabela State University and Thuyloi University thru series of training. The impacts of climate change and human interventions were assessed on watersheds, reservoir sedimentation, dam operation, flood inundation, and agricultural practices. In the case of the Cagayan River Basin, the Magat dam capacity has been significantly reduced due to sedimentations based on the bathymetric survey conducted. Hence, funding was secured for the dredging of the Magat dam programmed the following year. Also, it was projected that climate change and land-use changes will significantly reduce water resources during dry years may lead to droughts, and will abruptly increase during wet years which may lead to flooding in the basin. A Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model was locally optimized for the basin as a decision support tool for flood inundation forecast and upgrade dam discharge protocol during extreme rainfall events. The International Association on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction Management was created and was registered as a science-government-community association where key agencies and stakeholders participate in the phases of Integrated Flood and Sediment management in river basins.

Abstract

Stakeholders play a vital role in improving the quality of education. The engagement of various stakeholders was deemed necessary for the continuous and holistic improvement of the institution. This was achieved through the development of the Integrated Management Information System for Stakeholders (IMISS). The study employed the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology for software development. IMISS is a platform for enhancing stakeholder engagement in all the institution’s plans, programs, and policies as well as for assessing the quality of services the institution provides from a multidimensional perspective. It provides a portal for stakeholders such as students, alumni, parents, partners, employers of alumni, and faculty. It includes system notifications of successful registration, invitations to events, completion of surveys, and greetings. It also features a reward system that grants points for every completed survey and a dashboard for the system administrator. JMeter was utilized for system testing in order to analyze and measure the system’s performance. The result showed that the developed system is error-free and executes successfully in an online environment. Hence, IMISS is recommended for implementation.

Abstract

To safeguard the quality of drinking water in refilling stations in the market, the SMS-Based Sensor water Monitoring system for Refilling Stations using Arduino was introduced. The researchers developed an SMS-Based Water Monitoring system and it was intended for refilling stations. Arduino was the main controller and pH and Turbidity sensor to monitor and measure the quality of water. In the experimental result, the ideal range for drinking purposedly is 6.5-8.5 and based on the 4 sampling used, they obtained 7ph which means that the quality of water Passed. Response time of turbidity sensors is as long as the turbidity sensor is inside the same water sample; turbidity values are constant but when while turbidity sensor is taken outside muddy water, then turbidity values sharply go down. This means that using the developed system assures that the quality of water produced by the refilling stations is guaranteed safe.
