Run-Off Analysis for a State University: An Input to Drainage System Design and Management Plan for Don Honorio Ventura State University (Main Campus), Pampanga, Philippines

Don Honorio Ventura State University is considered as one of the oldest vocational schools in Far EastAsia, having been established since 1861. Throughout the years, the university has developed variousinfrastructures and evolved to become what it is today. However, the university seems to suffer fromfloodwater accumulation despite the university’s improvements. These situations would cause aninconvenience to the DHVSU community, hindering various university activities in the process.This studyfocused on conducting a run-off analysis utilizing Rational Method at DHVSU Main Campus, both at themain lot and extension lot of the university. This was accomplished to develop a drainage system designthat can reduce the run-off accumulation inside of the university. A management plan was also crafted tohelp maintain the efficiency of the proposed drainage system design.It was concluded that the existingoutfall cross-section can accommodate the flooding that the current storms would produce. However, itwas surveyed that the university has lower elevations at the center of both lots compared to its perimeter.Because of this, the surface run-off from these storms accumulates inside the university with nowhere todischarge to. A drainage design and management plan was proposed to properly discharge theaccumulated
