Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Central Luzon, Philippines 2010

  • The study's objective is to formulate an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) plan for the Pampanga river basin in coordination with other concerned organizations. It also aims to transfer relevant skills and technologies on IWRM to personnel of the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) and other agencies.

SRDP provided the following GIS services:

  • GIS and mapping support
  • Data gathering, processing, analysis and documentation
  • Preparation of thematic maps and other related statistics
  • Technical transfer to NWRB counterpart personnel

We also developed an open-source website application that primarily serve to as a tool for information sharing and coordination among the individuals and agencies involved in the study. This is, likewise, a repository of various data that are open for disclosure to all concerned parties.

Sample Outputs:

Domestic Pollution Load Density Environmentally Critical Areas Mt. Pinatubo (Before and After the Eruption)
