A Replication of the Udonthani BP Model on Constructed Wetlands
In the City of Alaminos,
Pangasinan,Philippines

Presented by: Col. Wilmer S. Panabang, DSC (Ret.)
What is a Natural Wetland?
Is an area where water covers the soil, or is present either at or near the surface of the soil all year round or for varying period of the year including during the growing season.
Swamps, marshes or bogs found in freshwater, saltwater or brackish water. One has to view the wetland as a whole system composed of: soil, covered with water, water plants, mangrove plants, fishes, birds, reptiles, amphibians, etc.
Economic services
Aesthetic and recreation value (bird watching)
Promotes ecotourism (livelihood to the local people)
Ecological services
• Wintering site of migratory birds• Habitat of both land and water animals • Filtering function ( plants filters the pollutants)• Protect coastal water from pollutants•Mitigate climate change through carbon sink•Adaptation by its ability to store and regulate water
What is a Constructed Wetland?
Constructed – entails the presence of human intervention imitating the functions of the natural wetland to improve fresh water system.
It has the same components as natural wetlands – water, plants, animal life (insects, reptiles, amphibians and birds), varying depths of the pond.
The constructed wetland side by side with the natural fresh water system functions as urban water drainage.
The presence of aquatic plants and other organisms absorbs pollution load in the water.
It also reduces contaminants before releasing the water.

REPLICATION SITE Lucap Coastal Wastewater
Treatment Facility
Sitio Inansuana, Brgy. LucapAlaminos City, Pangasinan,Philippines
Coastal Conditions: Sitio Inansuana, Lucap
• Catch basin for solid and waste water• No existing sewerage system in place• Lack environment/ecological appreciation • Deterioration of flora and fauna • High incidence of Ecoli bacteria• High incidence of water-born diseases• Uncontrolled and undocumented settlements

FLOATING GARDENS OF LUCAP
FOUR CHAMBER SEPTIC TANK and MECHANICAL WINDMILL PUMP
This is the proposed design for the community septic collector of community waste water situated within the area
Use:
To initially segregate solid materials and filter liquids prior to transfer to filtering ponds.
Propose No. of Facility: 2

B.Ensuing issues in Alaminos City
Program institutionalization is affected by term of office by elected officials;Continuity may be compromised by change in local administrators
Solution: Establishment of policies (Sangguniang
Panlungsod Ordinance, MOAs, MOUs) that transcends beyond the term of office for every current administration.
