Preparation of the 2009 Cost EstimatingManual was not done since no bidding on waterworksmaterials and equipment was held by LWUA’s PBAC.Revision of the LWUA Standard Specifications, toconform to the Bidding Documents recently issuedby the Philippine Government, was completed inNovember.In 1991, LWUA implemented a UNDPfinancedproject which was aimed at establishing acomputerized countryside groundwater datageographic information system. Upon its completionin 1994, LWUA established the agency’s GroundwaterData Bank to institutionalize the activity. TheResearch Division was tasked to maintain andmanage the LWUA Groundwater Data Bank.A total of 750 well records were encoded inthe LWUA Groundwater Data Bank for the year 2009.The Groundwater Data Banking Reportsummarizes the water district’s available groundwaterdata encoded in the LWUA Groundwater Data Bank.The available data are processed to generate outputsthat could be utilized by professional hydrogeologistsin the assessment of groundwater availability andpotential. Three (3) Groundwater Data bankingReports were completed this year, bringing the totalto 37. The reports completed this year were for thefollowing water districts: Polomolok (South Cotabato),Mabalacat (Pampanga), and San Ildeponso (Bulacan).For the year 2009, Groundwater Data Banksystem software was installed in three water districts,namely, Polomolok, Mabalacat and San Ildeponso.To date, the software has been installed in 43 waterdistricts.The Research Division developed, andcontinues to maintain, a web site for the division. Thisincludes on-line access to available well record fromour groundwater data bank.The Division also develops/maintainsmanuals for use in water supply system development.These are the Cost Estimating Manual, the LWUACPS Division accomplishmentsPARTICULARSQUANTITYManual System Installation:1.
