and street flushing. Of all municipal services, provision of potable water is perhaps the
most vital. People depend on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away
wastes, and other domestic needs. Water supply systems must also meet
requirements for public, commercial, and industrial activities. In all cases, the water
In 2010, about 85% of global population (6.74 billion people) had access to
piped water supply through house connections or to an improved water source through
other means than house, including standpipes, water kiosk, spring supplies and
protected wells, However, about 14% (884 million people) did not have an access to
improved water source and had to use unprotected wells or springs, canals, lakes or

to health over a lifetime consumption, including sensitivities that may occur between
life stages” In addition, safe drinking water is suitable for all usual domestic purposes,
including personal hygiene and food preparation. However, water higher quality may
be required for some special purposes, such as renal dialysis and cleaning of contact

world, and still the most common, is by means of hand-dug wells. However, because
they are dug by hand, their use is restricted to suitable types of ground such as clays,
sands, gravels and mixed soils where only small boulders are encountered. Some
communities use the skill and knowledge of locale well-diggers, but often excavation
is carried out, under supervision, by the villagers themselves. The volume of the water
in the well below the standing water table acts as a reservoir which can meet demands

Rainwater harvesting systems can be installed with minimal skills. The system
should be sized to meet the water demand throughout the dry season since it must be
big enough to support daily water consumption. Specifically, the rainfall capturing area

Tap Water
Tap water (running water, city water, municipal water, etc.) is water supplied to
a tap (valve). Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and flushing of toilets. Indoor
tap water is distributed through “indoor plumbing”, which has existed since antiquity
but was available to very few people until the second half of the 19 th century, when it
began to propagate in what now the developed countries. It became common in many
regions during 20th century, and is now lacking only among poor, especially in
developing countries.

of water flow. Hydraulic structures are used to control the water level in the stream
and to ensure it is sufficient to supply the intake but not to flood it. The main purpose
of an intake is to ensure a constant water supply that can be adjusted to suit local
variable, and the times when streamflow is abundant do not necessarily coincide with
the times when the water is needed. A hydraulic structure is a structure submerged or
partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow of water.
To attain the objectives of the study the procedural framework shown in figure

field visit and data collection, data analysis and writing the manuscript.
Data Analysis

A formal communication letter will be sent to the municipal mayor for courtesy
and security reasons while conducting the study and for the Municipal Planning and
Development Office (MPDO) for the purpose of collecting the secondary information
such as map of the barangay, data about the water sources and other necessary data.

as well as locating and visiting the water supply source. Secondary data which also
comprises an access to barangay development plan, maps, and other relevant data’s
A survey questionnaire will be gathered to be used for the survey for the
purpose of date gathering. These include the personal information of the respondents
and water supply data. The data that were gathered using the survey questionnaire
were utilized to evaluate the domestic water supply system of Barangay Libertad.
To obtain the information of the water supply system, random interviews to the
questionnaire. The respondents will be personally interview to get their reactions and
comments about the domestic water supply system and to be interview about their
economic status in the community. All the secondary information necessary in the
research were procured from Barangay Libertad and Municipal Planning and
Development Office(MPDO).
