Description

The researchers conducted fieldwork on Brgy. Bacayan, Cebu City. The fieldwork was done by surveying the residents and also measuring the maximum flood height of the location from the river.

Residents situated in the low-lying areas of the upstream parts of the Barangay had given the researchers an estimation of 420 cm from the ground to their household. Residents situated in areas with higher elevation had given an estimation of 320 cm.

The old riprap constructed was not effective enough for the community affected by the flood. That's why a new layer of riprap much higher than the old one was constructed. According to the Brgy. Councilor, the new riprap is 600-700 cm high.

The researchers have gathered information as well, from Brgy. officials on the maximum flood height of the location. The secretary of the Barangay, Janah Cabahug relayed the information from the Brgy. Councilor that the maximum flood height is 600 cm from the riverbed.
