Design of an Appropriate Water Supply System for Dolores Water District, Abra

Abstract Water is an essential resource for all living organisms, yet water systems often face challenges in supply, energy consumption, and sustainability. The Dolores Water District (DWD) in Abra, Philippines, currently relies on high-powered electric pumps to distribute water to its service areas, resulting in high operational costs and vulnerability during power outages caused by typhoons and other calamities. This study proposes the integration of a gravity-fed upland spring water system with the existing pump-based distribution—a conjunctive use approach—to improve energy efficiency and water reliability. The objectives of the study are to assess the current condition of DWD in terms of energy consumption and water performance, and to evaluate how the proposed system design affects these parameters. Using a combination of system analysis, hydrological assessment, and energy evaluation, the study anticipates that the inclusion of a gravity-fed water supply will reduce electric energy usage, lower operational costs, and maintain continuous water service even during power interruptions. The findings aim to provide a sustainable water management strategy that enhances service delivery while promoting energy efficiency in local water districts.
