Background of the Research:

With Marinduque State College’s mission to provide excellence in instruction, research,

extension, and production, needed research has been ongoing to backup this institution’s progress

on acquiring excellence. A majority of these activities have been in line with the overall design

and construction of the required area and facilities to cover necessary equipment and its overall

population (students, faculty, administrators, etc..). An active overlying problem has been the

improvement of the drainage systems covering this Institution’s Main Campus (Boac Campus),

creating stagnant ponds, inviting mosquitoes and other harmful diseases/viruses, and making the

ground surface wet and weak for structures. With that said, the researchers conducted and created

a Surface Water Management Model to observe and indicate the problems in MSC’s drainage

system.

What is SWMM? What is it for? According to EPA website, “EPA's Storm Water

Management Model (SWMM) is used throughout the world for planning, analysis, and design

related to stormwater runoff, combined and sanitary sewers, and other drainage systems. It can

be used to evaluate gray infrastructure stormwater control strategies, such as pipes and storm

drains, and is a useful tool for creating cost-effective green/gray hybrid stormwater control

solutions.” this software application is used to help predict runoff quantity and quality from

drainage systems. It was developed as a help to local authorities managing stormwater

management activities through infiltration and retention. This software also provides integrated

data management as well as editing information and creating simulations.

Time Series

• This Hyetograph indicates the amount of precipitation per unit of time. It is seen in the

graph that the highest precipation counted was at the 4th hour estimated at 1.5 cfs.
