Feasibility Study on Irrigation

The locality of Managopaya, Banate is located at the western pop out of Visayas and lies at 4th district of the Province of Iloilo. It is bounded in mingled with by the Municipality of Anilao when going to Iloilo metropolis and Municipality of Barotac Viejo when going to Estancia. It has a husbandry sports stadium of 667. 5 hect ars or roughly 5. 15 portion of the total land sector of the Municipality of Banate. As such it is the smallest barangay in the municipal composing of volt (6) sitios namely Proper, Ba systeman, Bubog, Lumboy, Pangalatkaton and Tubod.Sitio Proper serves as the common snapping turtle of various economic activities and identify of all government owned offices or building. Extensive mountain ranges with unpaired distribution of plateaus, swamps, and pitiablelands characterize the barangays topography. In terms of soil types, these ranges from loam, clay, sandy, clay loam, sandy loam, or a mixture of any of these, which are as distributed in the six ( 6) sitios of the barangay. These soil types are suitable to any benign of crop whether one-year, perennial, or silver crops. TOPOGRAPIC MAP OF MANAGOPAYASOURCE NATIONAL IRRIGATION ADMINISTRATION (NIA) base on the 2011 Census of Population, the Barangay of Managopaya recorded a population level of 1328. This translates to an annual average growth rate of 0. 9 pct for the period 2000-2011. Sitio Proper, beingness the urban expanse, registered the most number of lot at 363, which is 27. 33 pct of the municipalitys total population. This was followed by Sitio Baclayan having a population of 298 or 22. 2 percent of the total populationl. The percentage share of the remaining four (4) barangays ranged from 11-15 percent.Consequently, in the most thickly populated barangay, thither were approximately four (4) people in each hectare of land while in the least densely populated area there would be roughly one (1) soul in every hectare of land. Basically, the municipal population is young with more than half(prenominal) of its populace within the age range of 1-20 years. Out of the total municipal population, 52 percent or 690 were males while 48 percent or 633 were females. The barangays current working population (age 15-64) is pegged at 396. This is relatively low considering the high number of economic dependents totaling 932.The population has a total addiction ratio of 70. Most people in Managopaya are largely Ilonggo. on that point are approximately 1195 people or about 99 percent who speak the dialect fluently. In terms of religious affiliation, 82 percent of the populations are Roman Catholics. 1. 1. 2 Economic organic evolution Managopaya has an boorish area of 467 hectares, which is equivalent to 70 percent or more than half of the barangays total land area. Farming is the main source of income owing to the barangays basic agricultural features.There is only few banking institution in the area that offers to the demands of the business sector, as well as the needs of the nurtureers and government employees. It leaves agricultural loans to farmers but only a few can avail payable to stringent lending requirements and high interest rates. Fruits and other farm products of subtle quality are usually sold to Iloilo City or Passi City because of the high price these commodities command. Residents of Managopaya merely contain themselves with products of inferior quality for their day-to-day consumption requirements.Local traders supplement and assume the role of lending institutions by providing cash advance to small farmers and sugarcane folks during emergencies. The suki system is the most general method of conducting business where local traders acts as financiers and at the same time control the price of fish, livestock and other farm products. The absence of larger scale establishments further complicate the worsening emplacementment because residents still have to go to Iloilo City to purchase product which are no t available in Banate or in Passi City.This means superfluous burden to the poor especially now that the transportation cost is high. 1. 1. 3Social Development There is only one (1) public elementary school. Health function are provided by the Barangay Health Center located in the Proper. It is visited every 2-3 months by a doctor, a nurse, a dentist, a dental aid, and midwife. The barangays pencil lead causes of mortality rate from 2000 to 2011 are cardio-vascular diseases, hypertension, pulmonary tuberculosis, and bronchopneumonia. On the other hand, the leading causes of morbidity are acute respiratory infection, diarrhea, and pulmonary tuberculosis.The barangays rough birth rate is 17. 5 per 1,000 populations and its crude death rate is 3. 3 per 1,000 populations. Its infant mortality rate is 7. 22 per 1,000 populations while maternal mortality rate is 1. 8 per 1,000 populations. Based on the 2012 survey on population, there are 285 total of households and 298 total of fami lies. The construction materials used for outer walls of these house units are mostly indigenous products like bamboo, sawali, cogon, and nipa.However, there are in addition some units that make use of sturdy materials like concrete, brick stones, galvanized iron, aluminum, and hard wood. . 2 THE PROPOSED UPLAND IRRIGATION THAT COMES FROM WATERFALLS OF MANAGOPAYA, BANATE, ILOILO Managopaya is largely an subalpine barangay and majority of its people source their income from their alpine agriculture activities. Cognizant of this and the fact that the uplands soil fertility is deteriorating due to discovery and prolonged dry spell, the LGUs priority growth agenda is to abrogate the situation in the near future. The LGU, at the moment, is fortunate to be activate of the foreign-assisted Upland Development Program (UDP).However, due to limited financial resources, upland development activities are also limited. The LGU, thus, would like to harness its potential sources of weewee to provide farmers the necessary water requirements for their high value crops and be lured to puff up their production. This would, at the same time, address the problem of low income of farmers which is a case of low production of crops. Thus, this feasibility study is being prepared for the development of two (2) major potential sources of water for irrigation purposes.Among the barangays development strategies is to resume the financial investments for it to be able to replicate the same project or to finance other development projects of the municipality. The LGU also recognizes the fact that, in ordination for this project to succeed, there is a need to put in place support facilities/activities like a nursery for planting materials, a bagsakan center for marketing support, and training to farmers on high-value crops production. In the case of planting materials for high-value crops, the LGU plans to provide these to farmers on a plant-now-pay later scheme.
