Risk Analysis of Urban Water Infrastructure Systems in Cauayan City

The City of Cauayan Isabela is known as one of the first smart cities and leading agro-industrial centers in the Philippines. Since the center of the economy is in urban areas like Cauayan City, there is a tendency for people and businesses to converge when development and activity take place, with that, a risk analysis was done to analyze hazards for urban water infrastructures in the City of Cauayan. This paper includes an Inventory of the existing urban water infrastructure, with the aid of Geographic Information system Software and gathered data, maps were generated for flood hazards with 5, 25, and 100 yr. return period, liquefaction, ground shaking, and drought of urban water infrastructures. These maps were generated to help the people of Cauayan City, Isabela. The main goal of the paper is to assess the potential prone areas where water infrastructures are located, and monitor areas that are suitable for building such water infrastructures. Problems encountered by the people in utilizing urban water infrastructure can be able to minimize by proper installation of water infrastructures in suitable places which can help the people of the city in water utilization. Since Storm water can cause wide flooding in low elevated areas, to utilize the storm water and to address such problems, an urban water infrastructure with decision support systems intervention can be able to help the city in times of scarcity of water. In addition, the analysis can be used by the local government of the city for proper planning and to project the extent of the hazards.
