This chapter includes the results after gathering data from the local agency
With this data, the researchers determine the flood prone areas in the
municipality of Montevista near the Manat River. The quantitative data gathered
from the results were organized for further analysis and interpretations.
The flood prone areas were determined according to the flow capacity of
the Manat River, elevation of the municipality of Montevista, past flood history,
discussions were based on the data gathered. The data gathered where
Table 3.1.1 show the table of the average discharge of Manat River during
the data gathering using float method in determining it following the steps
mentioned in the last chapter. In determining the velocity, the researcher take
light materials, put it to the water and record the time from point A to point B
and multipled to the cross-sectional area which is the depth of the water
It shows that the average discharge is 149.78 cu.m/s after taking the
discharge in three stations. As the cross sectional area is equivalent to the width
multiplied to the depth of the water, if the discharge of the Manat river rises, the
cross sectional area and the velocity of the water also rise and make the water

3.1.2 Elevation
Figure 3.1.2 shows the map of the municipality of Montevista and its
factor why flood always occur. Also, the elevation near the Manat River is too
other municipality in Compostela Valley in meter above sea level. It shows that
Montevista is low elevated among other municipality which also the reason why
Montevista serves as the catch basins of water from high elevated municipality.

3.1.3 Flood history
In this part, the researchers must put the tabulated gathered data of flood
individuals and damage dealt by each occurrence but the needed data is not
available during data gathering because of some reasons. Since the data not yet

3.1.4 Average rainfall distribution
Montevista. The researchers believe that the main cause of flooding is rainfall.
In the table below, it shows that in the month of December and January
mostly the heavy rainfall occur in the municipality of Montevista. As the effect
during these months of heavy rains, it causes flood which may affect the flow
capacity of the water in the river and rise up water level and affects the low
In this part of chapter 3, the researchers must put the gathered data map
about the drainage systems in the municipality of Montevista and its effect in the
flooding as one of the parameters. The researchers is advised to make their own
drainage system map but the researchers cannot conduct such action because of
safety reasons since Manat River water level this time is too high and drainage

Montevista and by the use of flood susceptibility parameters (Table 3.2) as basis.
The flood prone areas in the municipality of Montevista are the barangays
near to Manat River which are Banagbanag, Linoan, San Jose, New Visayas,
Dauman, Bankerohan Sur, Bankerohan Norte, Tapia and Conception. Also, this
