The Engineering and Operations Division – Planning and Design Section, together with the Pampanga-Bataan Irrigation Management Office (NIA-PamBat IMO), conducted a field visit and validation for the proposed diversion dam in Barangay Calumpang, Mabalacat, Pampanga, from February 3-7, 2025.
Engr. Kelvin C. Villasor, Engineer A, and Engr. Joshua James E. Delos Santos, Engineer B, from NIA Region III, led a hydrological survey for the proposed diversion dam. This survey aimed to collect discharge measurements for hydrological analysis, which will provide essential data for the design and feasibility assessment of the project.
Additionally, a team composed of Ms. Jamila Mei B. Francia, Economist A, Ms. Deshma Joy R. Sambrano, Environmental Management Specialist I, and Ms. Corine Angelica C. Calakhan, Agronomist B, all from NIA Region III, as well as Ms. Sarah Veronica P. Gaboy, Economist A, from NIA PamBat IMO, worked alongside barangay officials to conduct a joint Farm Management Survey, Agro-Economic Survey, and Social, Flora, and Fauna Assessment in the area.
This comprehensive effort aims to gather critical data for the Feasibility Study and Detailed Engineering (FSDE). The information collected will assess the municipality’s cropping patterns, evaluate local agricultural practices, and provide a broader understanding of the area’s general condition. The survey will also gather community feedback on the potential impacts of the project and help determine the benefits of the proposed diversion dam.
