The Sta. Maria River reach considered in this study (lime green) stretches from the near end boundary
of Norzagaray as the upstream end point down to Macaiban Bridge with an overall length of 13.61 km.
The said river has three main tributaries. First is a small river called Balasing River measuring 2.68 km
in length and connected to Santa Maria River 8.61 km below the upstream boundary. Followed by the
Cay Pombo River that stretches 4.21 km and has a tributary point located 9.44 km downstream of the
upper end boundary. Lastly, the San Jose Del Monte River which is the longest tributary with an overall
length of 18.45 km and connected to the Sta. Maria River at a point 11.92 km from the upstream end.

The quest for rainfall data resulted to four RIDF data from three different synoptic stations of the
close to the area under study since there is no available station within the drainage area of the Sta.
Maria River. The first is from the synoptic station of PAG-ASA from Baliuag, Bulacan which is based
from 18 years of record. The computed average rainfall intensity of within 1440 minutes of continuous
rainfall is 16.1 mm/hr. This station is ______________ km from the centroid of the drainage area under
consideration. The second is from the synoptic station from Science Garden, Agham Rd., Quezon City.
The calculated rainfall intensity for 24-hour duration is 18.3 mm/hr which is based from 50 years of
record. Another rainfall data of this location was also developed by PAG-ASA to be used by the
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Hydrologic Analysis of River Basins. The
average rainfall intensity for the 1440-minute period is 14.2 mm/hr. The Science Garden is 21.64 km
from the centroid of the Sta. Maria River Basin. Lastly, the fourth synoptic station is from Cabanatuan.
34
Also based from 50 years of record, the mean rainfall intensity is 13 mm/hr. This synoptic station is
74.34 km from the centroid of the catchment area of the drainage basin.
Based on the graphs of the curves, the two RIDF curves of Science Garden are almost coinciding while
the curve of Makinabang, Baliuag, Bulacan has a slight deviation from these two. Being the farthest
synoptic station among the three, Cabanatuan has the greatest deviation from the other three curves.
Judging from the locations of the aforementioned synoptic stations with respect to the centroid of the
drainage basin and the length of time at which the development of RIDF Curves where based from, the
researchers utilized the RIDF data gathered from the synoptic station at the Science Garden from
“Specific Discharge Curve, Rainfall Intensity Duration Curve, Isohyet of Probable 1-day Rainfall” by
PAG-ASA used in DPWH river system analysis. We disregarded the data from Makinabang, Baliuag,
Bulacan though it is the closest station to the area of study due to its limited record of only 18 years
whereas the minimum requirement must be at least one-half of the design return period which in this
case is 50 years.

Figure ___________ shows the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the area with delineated river stream
flows and catchment area boundary and divisions. This model has the scale of 1:100,000 bounded by
its corners with coordinates (14.787N, 120.955E) – lower left, (14.92N, 120.955E) – upper left, (14.92N,
121.194E) – upper right and (14.787N, 121.194E) – lower right. This DEM was obtained from the
United States Geographic Survey.The files were dated September 23, 2014. Specifically the data was
obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). This 1-arc second global digital elevation model has a spatial resolution of
about 30 meter.

Figure _______________ shows the entire drainage area, as well as the sub-basins, of the Santa
Maria River and its tributaries with a total area of 186.38 km 2. The whole catchment basin was divided
into 8 sub-basins with respect to the terrain of the area. The catchment area was delineated and
established through the use of ArcGIS software. The centroid of each sub-basin was obtained through
the use AutoCAD software. Due to some limitations of Google Earth as to the tracing of the river
centerlines, an estimated extension of the river was needed to accomplish the hydrologic model and

The sub-basins was derived from the division of the whole river basin considering the practical area at
which precipitation will run-off based on the DEM. It was observed that drainage areas decrease as it
37
comes near the discharge point and follows an ellipsoidal to trapezoidal pattern where the width of the
area perpendicular to the stream flow shortens down from the upstream boundary of the sub-basin
down to its downstream end. SB-5 is the greatest among the sub-basins with an area of 81.30 km 2
which is 4 to 5 times greater than the other sub-basins. It is characterize by an almost uniform slope
terrain throughout its area. Majority of the sub-basins have an area ranging from 9.94 km 2 to 33.13 km2.
The two smallest of the sub-basins are SB-4 and SB-8 having an area of 3.13 km 2 and 2.19 km2
respectively.

The design hyetograph was obtained using the Alternating Block Method. The respective rainfall
intensity for every hour was obtained through the formula R=A/(C+T) b where R is the rainfall intensity, T
is the time duration in minutes and A, b and C are constants with values 3312681.27, 1.63 and 520.65
respectively for the 50-year return period. The obtained rainfall intensity was then multiplied to a
reduction factor equal to 0.6863 which was derived from Horton’s formula stated below:
The cumulative rainfall for every duration was acquired by multiplying the adjusted rainfall intensity to
its corresponding duration. Then the incremental depth for every succeeding duration was obtained.
This incremental values was then arrange in an alternating manner such that the values will be
distributed evenly having the largest value at the middle of the distribution.

DURATION (hr)
The design hyetograph is a 24-hour rainfall graph. The precipitation starts on the 6 th hour with 0.76
mm/hr intensity and exponentially intensifies until it reached its peak at 71.04 mm/hr during the 12 th
hour. Then the intensity starts to diminish exponentially until it is just 0.15 mm/hr during the 19 th hour.

The Basin Model Diagram shows the relationship and connectivity of the sub-basins, river reaches and
other elements of the river system. This diagram was also used in creating the hydrologic model using
HEC-HMS. The diagram was compost of 8 sub-basins, 2 river reaches from the Sta. Maria river, 2 river
reaches from San Jose Del Monte river and 5 junction points.

General Slope = 0.0086564
Manning's Coefficient = 0.035
The transform method used was SCS Unit Hydrograph. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) unit
hydrograph method defines a curvilinear unit hydrograph by first setting the percentage of the unit run-
off that occurs before the peak flow (NRCS, 2007). A triangular unit hydrograph can then be fit to the
curvilinear unit hydrograph can be calculated. The standard unit hydrograph is defined with 37.5% of
unit runoff occurring before the peak flow. This definition corresponds to a peak rate factor of 484 which
incorporates the percentage of unit run-off before the peak, calculated total time base, and unit
conversions when applying the equations within the US Customary unit system.
The routing method used was Muskingum-Cunge routing method is based on the combination of the
sometimes referred to as a variable coefficient method because the routing parameters are calculated
every step based on channel properties and the flow depth. It represents attenuation of flood waves
The Manning’s Roughness Coefficient was set to 0.035 since the river reaches are characterize as
natural streams with no rifts or deep pools, but more stones and weeds.

The Modified Synder’s Lag Equation was used in determining the lag time of each sub-basin. Lca is the
length of water course from the downstream end of the sub-basin to the intersection on the stream
perpendicular from the centroid of the sub-basin (km). Ct is the lag time coefficient. The lag time
coefficient of SB-1 and SB-5 was set to 0.7 since the area is hilly while the rest was set to 0.35.
The sub-basin longest lag time is 949.78 minutes from SB-5 which also has the largest area, on the
other hand SB-8 has shortest lag time which is only 186.43 minutes and has also the smallest area.
43
The simulation was set to last for 3 days. The maximum peak discharge occurs at junction-3 which is
the outlet point of the river system considered. The maximum peak discharge is 603.1 cubic meters
which occurred after 25.5 hours after the commencement of the simulation.
The graph shows the amount of water that flowed across the Junction-3. It was observed that the curve
is slightly skewed to the right. The rising limb is much steeper than the falling limb. Also the outflows
from SMR-2 and SB-8 can be seen on the graph which are the two inflows for Junction-3. The peak
discharge of SB-8 occurs shortly after the start of precipitation. Contradictory, the outflow from SB-8
which is the product of almost all the outflows coming the other sub-basins has almost the same peak
