 Background of the Study

Agriculture in the Philippines

• involving 40% of Filipino workers, it takes up 20% of the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP)
• commonly used in the Philippines are lowland irrigated farming,
upland farming, and rainfed farming

3
 Gap / Missing Information
The previous researches…
• Did not have Philippines as the setting
• Did not use green roofs or other forms urban agriculture

4
 Statement of Purpose
This study aims to…
• develop a device that will dispense water to the green roofs
farm through drip irrigation system based on
Evapotranspiration,
• calibrate the ET-based Irrigation System in a green roofs
structure; and
• evaluate the system performance and functionality. These
statements will be able to guide the researchers to create an
effective irrigation system for urban green roofs 5
 Statement of Value
This study is essential to…
• Lessen water consumption in agriculture through smart
irrigation system
• Develop existing urban farming methods in the
Philippines
• Utilize buildings as agricultural sites

6
 Scope and Delimitation

This research will only be conducted…

• in Mapua University, Intramuros Rooftop

• using Calamansi plants
