CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Theoritical Framework
Water shortage is among the serious constraints en crop production at global scale
and almost all types of crops experience this problem at least during part of the
growing season. This is predicted to be an increasing problem in the coming years
due to changing climate scenarios (IPCC, 2014). Further allocation of irrigation
water to farmland is seriously threatened by competition among various
availability, it is predicted to be allocated only for high value crops ( non -
traditional food crops) such as vegetables and fruits, while rain fed ecosystem will
be used for grain production. The productivity of grains needs to be increased to
feed the growing population.
The theory that we will use is supply reliability theory. It was developed
by Uri Shamir and Charles D.D. Howard, and it was used to study water supply
system reliability can be defined in terms of the shortages that result from failures
of a system’s physical components. A reliability factor for a single failure or for a
selected time period can be defined in terms of the capacity lost during failure,
which is measured as a fraction of the demand rale or the demand volume. Since
the lost capacity is a random variable, so is the reliability factor will be achieved,
can be increased by adding facilities, storage, pumping capacity, pipelines. The
least-cost combination of facilities can be identified from the cost functions and
the probability distributions of the reliability factor.
The another theory that we will use is the theory of water aid. A lack of
accessibility to safe water has always been one of the greatest challenges to the
rural developing world. This issue has resulted in the deaths of countless millions
of people, as well as the under development of many nations. The developed
world has always recognized the necessity of providing water aid to these
developing nations. However, this water aid has had limited success in providing
sustainable water solutions and in alleviating this crisis. Recognizing this lack of
effectiveness, the theories of water aid and community development have been
studied and scrutinized. This has resulted in great strides in the science of
providing sustainable aid to developing nations. Yet, while much has been learned
about the proper theries, little increase in success has been seen in the developing
world.
This study focuses on the effects of water shortage on the people of Lugait
Poblacion Misamis Oriental. It only covers the area of Purok Andres Bonifacio
since it is greatly affected of water shortage. The researchers observed that many
households do not receive a regular supply of water. The problem is escalating at
an alarming rate as the number of households in Purok Andres Bonifacio increases
rapidly. It is the main problem of the community for several years which needs
attention for the Local Government unit.
The researchers decided to cover only the residents of Purok Andres Bonifacio
due to time and financial constraints only those residence who are affected by this
problem will be qualified as respondents.
Definition of Terms
Resources – These refers to the main source or supply from which benefit is
produced and it has some utility source or supply, support, or aid especially one
that can be readily drawn upon when needed.
Supply – These refers to the stock of a resource from which a person or place can
be provided with the necessary amount of that resource.
Water scarcity – These refers to one of the most serious risks facing the world at
every level: social, economic and environment.
Water shortage – These refers to the situation where by water sources becomes
inadequate for the community due to climate change.
CHAPTER II
Less than 1% of the world’s fresh water ( 0.007% of all water on earth ) in
accessible for direct human use .This is water found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and
those underground sources that are shallow enough to be tapped at an affordable
cost. Only this amount is regularly renewed by rain and snowfall, and is therefore
available on a sustainable basis ( Gleick, 2000 ).
According to ( Ebarvia 1994 ) in a study of water demand and supply in
Metro Manila, he started that ,ost of surface water resources in Metro Manila were
already contaminated and does not fit for drinking and tertiary water treatment
was required.In another study on demand and supply of water in Metro Manila,
David and Inocencio (1996), indicated that 30 percent of the population was not
reached by any public water service. Furthermore, it argued that the quality of
water service was poor, reliability of service was inadequate and the progressive
rate imposed by the service provide did not really benefit the poor.
On the issue of water pricing, largo et al. ( 1998 )asserted that both the
price of water and income of households significantly affected water demand by
households in metro demand. This suggested that the high price paid by the poor
for water rather than their low income largely explains their low levels of water
consumptions.

Research Design
Data Gathering
Data Analysis
The data analysis will be based on the study objectives and research
questions. After all data will be collected, the researcher will be identify
incomplete or inaccurate responses, which will be corrected to clarify the quality
of the responses. Qualitative data will be analyze using content analysis base on
analysis of meanings and implications emanating from respondent’s information
and documented data.
CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION OF DATA
This chapter is discussing what was found during the data collection
process. In discussing what was discovered, first and foremost will be to unpack
the structured interview questionnaire which was used for data collection. The
responses to the questionnaire will also be analyzed and interpreted in this section.
Although large scale water resources development has been taking place in
the world, but until vast majority of people shall do not have enough
potable water for drinking and canal eater for irrigation. The distribution of
water supply for drinking purpose is quite appalling in modern times
means time the downstream people are not suitably protected against flood
or disaster hits due to the improper management. Irrigation is the main
story of Pakistan’s economy, around 90% of total agriculture output of the
country is totally dependent on irrigation. It is clear that water resources
have played very important role in the development of land and water
shortage system. More than half of world population lives in developing
countries and the poorest of these communities depend heavily on
exploitation of local water resources for their livelihood.

use handpump and deepwheel”. ( Tado, 2019)

Based on our observation while we start to gather data and pick a person who
qualifies to answer our questions, most of them are relying on their own effort
to make handpump and deep wheel to support their daily tasks using water
specially in taking a bath, washing clothes, dish washing and something else to
do with water “Water is life and it is very important to us because without
water what can we do with our lives”.

Population Residents
Figure 2. This graph shows the population in Purok Andres Bonifacio that are
affected of water shortage. There are 881 residents in Andres Bonifacio but we
only interviewed 15 residents but most of the population in Andres Bonifacio
are greatly affected of water shortage.
According to her “ I didn’t know because we don’t have water connection in our
households”. Modequllio (2019)
According to her “ There had been no flood for many years”. Romo (2019)
The world is facing a slowly worsening crisis in the coming years, and it’s
predicted to become a global crisis by 2025. Today, half a billion people
live in conditions of water scarcity, but, if current trends continue, demand
will outpace supply by 40% by the year 2030.Only 3% of the water on
earth is fresh water, suitable for drinking, and nearly all of the fresh water
supply is difficult to access, leaving just 0.014% of our planet’s water
available for our needs. Although it is such a tiny percentage of the earth’s
water, at the moment that small amount of fresh water is still just about
sufficient to satisfy all our needs.
According to him “ It really affects the way of living of a person since water is
important to ones life”. Gandecila (2019)
According to her “ It’s very difficult and hassle for us to fetch water in a distance
specially we don’t have our own water pump or water pipes connection in our
own households”. Azanon (2019)
It‘s very hard, espically when you don’t have a water to drink , take a shower and
wash clothes”. ( Romo, 2019)
It’s tiring to fetch water in distance , it’s much better to not have electricity than
water “. ( Andaya, 2019)
“We can’t wash our clothes take a shower and wash our dishes properly because
there is no water”. ( Tado, 2019)
“It really affects the way of living of a person since water is important to one’s
life”. ( Gandecila, 2019)
“If there’s no water what will happen to us”. ( Wayas, 2019)“It really affects us if
we don’t have water because all of us needs water”. ( Modequillo, 2019)
Based on our findings, the lack of water is negatively affects the livelihoods and
development of the people in Purok Andres Bonifacio it’s also pressure to the
young children and adults because they are tired to fetch water in a distance every
day, because of that the government shall look forward to it and obliged to solve
this problem.

This study is about the Effect of water shortage to the people of Purok andres
Bonifacio Poblacion Lugait Misamis Oriental. The researcher will make an
interview questionnaires and face to face interview will be conducted in order to
get in formations. Based on our observation while we start to gather data and pick
a person who qualifies to answer our questions. most of them are relying on their
own effort to make hand pump and deep wheel to support their daily tasks using
water. Therefore we conclude that the people in Andres Bonifacio are not having a
difficulties because they have their own water resource but they still hope that the
government will provide them their own water connection the their household.
Water shortage is the lack of water sufficient available of water resources to meet
the demand of water shortage within region. Drinking water is a basic requirement
for life and a determinant of standard of living, up to 70% of the Earth’s surface is
covered by water which is either surface or ground water ( UNESCO, 2008)
SUMMARY
This study focuses in the effects of water shortage to the people of Purok Andres
Bonifacio since its greatly affected by water shortage. The problem is escalating at
an alarming rate as the number of households in Purok Andres Bonifacio increases
rapidly othe purpose of this study is to know the reason why they don’t have water
connection in their households.

Lugait Misamis Oriental
Yes
✔ No
Yes
✔ No
If no Why?
There are much sufficient supply present especially to those households living in
high areas where spring water is dominant.
It is probably due to the pipes used that serve as tunnel or reservoir for the water
transfer. Basically, due to the error or damage of pipes.
It really affects the way of living of a person since water is important to ones life.
Yes
✔ No
If yes, how much do you pay?
5. Do you agree that the other area have a sufficient water supply, but your area
doesn’t have?
✔ Yes
No
If yes Why?
Yes, Beacause other purok’s have a pipe (line) connection but our area is yet to be
fixed.
Maybe due to excessive washing of clothes because we have a toppler that needs
to change clothes often.
Yes
✔ No
If yes, how much do you pay?
5. Do you agree that the other area have a sufficient water supply, but your area
