PLANNING

 The process of setting goals, developing


strategies, and outlining tasks and schedules to
accomplish the objectives.

 Deciding how to do something before doing so.


PLANNING: WATER RESOURCES
ENGINEERING

 Water resources engineering involves planning


systems, infrastructure and different types of
facilities.
 It also involves water resources. Natural
resources like lakes, rivers, groundwater and
dams.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

WATER DAM
HOW DAMS WERE BUILT?

 A multi-step process that requires huge amounts of manpower, raw


materials, and investment.
1. Engineers must de-water the river where the dam is meant to be built.
2. Loose rock is removed from the riverbed, and a plinth must be
constructed.
3. Build the dam to its desired height.
 A concave-curved downstream surface for a dam helps it absorb the
constant pressure of water that it must endure.
 Reinforced steel is used for the surfaces of the dam itself, and an
enclosure is built.
 The enclosure is filled with concrete to make it extremely strong and
resilient against water flow.
WATER RESOURCES

 SURFACE WATER
LAKES RIVERS
WATER RESOURCES

 The main uses of surface water includes:


1. for drinking purposes
2. other public uses, irrigation uses
3. thermoelectric-power industry to cool electricity-
generating equipment
WATER RESOURCES

 GROUDWATER
WHICH ARE BETTER FOR HUMAN USE?

 Generally, both ground water and surface water can provide safe
drinking water, as long as the sources are not polluted and the
water is sufficiently treated.

 In constructing a water system in household facilities, groundwater


is a better choice as a source of water than surface water.
HOW DOES WATER SYSTEM WORKS IN
HOUSEHOLD FACILITIES?

Water in household municipalities involves water engineering and


as a function of resource.

• In water engineering – engineers develop a water system in


municipalities.

• Water as a resource – water resources supplies water for human


use.

HOW DOES WATER SYSTEM WORKS IN
HOUSEHOLD FACILITIES?

 SOURCES OF WATER – lakes, rivers and groundwater.

 WATER TREATMENT – treats water so that it is safe for


human use.

 WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM – systems and structures


that distribute water to our faucet.
HOW DOES WATER SYSTEM WORKS IN
HOUSEHOLD FACILITIES?

 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM – systems and structures


that removes waste water from our drains, toilets,
bathtubs.

 WASTEWATER TREATMENT – process where that removes


harmful organism and contaminants.

 STORMWATER SYSTEMS – systems that serves as a passage


to rain waters from the houses.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN
CONSTRUCTING A WATER SYSTEM.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

DECISION MAKING PROCESS

 STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE DECISION


-Clearly define the nature of the decision you must make.
-Recognizing the problem or opportunity and deciding to address it.

 STEP 2: GATHER RELEVANT INFORMATION


-Collect some pertinent information before you make your decision: what information
is needed, the best sources of information, and how to get it.
-This requires making a value judgment, determining what information is relevant to
the decision at hand, along with how you can get it.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS

 STEP 3: IDENTIFY THE ALTERNATIVES


-Use your imagination and additional information to construct new alternatives. In this
step, you will list all possible and desirable alternatives.
- It is important to come up with a range of options. This helps you determine which
course of action is the best way to achieve your objective.

 STEP 4: WEIGH THE EVIDENCE


-Evaluate whether the need identified in Step 1 would be met or resolved through the
use of each alternative.
- “evaluate for feasibility, acceptability and desirability” to know which alternative is
best.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS

 STEP 5: CHOOSE AMONG ALTERNATIVES


-Be sure that you understand the risks involved with your chosen route.
-You may even choose a combination of alternatives.
 STEP 6: TAKE ACTION
-Take some positive action by beginning to implement the alternative you chose in Step 5.
- This involves identifying what resources are required and gaining support from employees
and stakeholders. Getting others onboard with your decision is a key component of executing
your plan effectively.
 STEP 7: REVIEW YOUR DECISION
- An often-overlooked but important step in the decision making process is evaluating your
decision for effectiveness.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS
UNCERTAINTY

 Lack of sureness, conviction and knowledge about an outcome or


result.
 The consequences, extent or magnitude of circumstances,
conditions, or events is unpredictable.
 Although too much uncertainty is undesirable, manageable
uncertainty provides freedom to make creative decisions.
 Risk.
UNCERTAINTY

 “Urban water planners face the decision of how much water


infrastructure to build in order to reliably meet demand for
high-quality water while minimizing cost to meet budget
constraints. The challenge of balancing the trade-off
between shortage risk, cost, and environmental protection is
compounded by several critical uncertainties.”
