Subproject Completion Report: Mananga-Kotkot-Lusaran Watershed Subproject

The Mananga-Kotkot-Lusaran Watershed Subproject is in Cebu Province and covers the cities of Cebu, Talisay and Danao and the municipalities of Minglanilla, Lilo-an, Consolacion, Compostela and Balamban. The rehabilitation of the MKL Watershed is significant considering the declining underground water supply aggravated by salt-water intrusion on the one hand and the continuing and pressing demand for water for Metro Cebu’s industries and residents on the other.

The implementation of Comprehensive Site Development ( CSD ) activities for the MKL Subproject involved the participation of 13 People’s Organizations to cover the entire expanse of the three watersheds.

The CSD activities as well as Infrastructure Development nevertheless provided employment to the local community as well as some technical persons in need of work. A total of 498,685 man days were generated that resulted to an estimated increase of 59% in the average annual household income from PHP 15,976 before the project to PHP 25,330 during the project.

In terms of infrastructure, beneficiaries find the farm-to-market roads, the hanging bridges and footbridges very helpful in facilitating mobility and ease in transporting their farm products to places of commerce. The irrigation system and water supply structures on the other hand supplement water supply requirements of the communities.
