DEVELOPMENT OF BARANGAY BAN-AG WATER SYSTEM

  • The College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA)-ARKINEERING: A Techno-Knowledge Transfer Program once again showed compassion to the community through helping the people of Barangay Ban-ag solve their water supply problem. Barangay Ban-ag in Alimodian, Iloilo is a geographically hilly place where source of potable water is difficult where the water source is far from the residential area, thus, becoming a challenge to the residents. To solve the said problem, the CEA with its partners stakeholders proposed a project entitled “Development of Barangay Ban-ag Water System”.
  • This project is a collaborative activity of the College of Engineering and Architecture, LGU of Alimodian, Department of Education Iloilo, and the Professional Organizations. The faculty of the five departments of CEA – Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronics Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Civil Engineering (CE), and Architecture will lecture and give a series of trainings on basic plumbing, installation and maintenance of the equipment to be used for the project and other necessary skills and knowledge that can be of great use to the residents.
  • The Launching and Skills training of techno-knowledge transfer for the Development of Brgy. Ban-ag Water System was conducted on August 19, 2022 to August 20, 2022. It is a two-day-two-phases activity conducted by the faculty of CEA. The 1st day was the launching of the project and the Phase I skills training where the project was introduced to the beneficiaries/participants. The Phase is a Skills Training on Basic Plumbing and other Civil Works which was discussed by the faculty of CE and Architecture Department who were experts in the field, namely, Engr. Al Joevid B. Mirasol and Ar. Jose Rene Militante.
  • The 2nd day is the Phase II of the project which is the Augmentation/Supervision on the Implementation of Plumbing Activity. The CEA extension implementers supervised and assisted the residents on the  implementation of the water pumps to the water source. This includes measuring the distance from the water source to the water tank – that will supply water to the households in the area, to determine the length of the pipes to be used for installation. The rest of the installation of the pipes and pumps will be performed by the residents on the succeeding days which will be checked by the CEA faculty experts during the Phase III of the project.
