Abstract
This chapter presents surface and groundwater modeling and simulation studies of the Pampanga River Basin and Agno River Basin systems to assess the status and potential for additional water utilization for domestic water supply and hydropower generation. These two river basins are adjacent to each other and located in the Central Luzon where they are relatively close to Metro Manila and other major metropolitan urban centers like San Fernando, Angeles, and Clark in the Pampanga River Basin and the cities of Tarlac, Rosales, and Dagupan in the Agno River Basin. The simulation studies were conducted over 50 years of data to assess the availability and reliability of surface water and groundwater as domestic water supply sources at the major metropolitan urban centers of these two river basins as well as to identify potential locations for hydropower generation and determine the associated firm power yields.
