The name of project is FARM WATER SYSTEM, an alternative supply of water for vegetable farming. The source of water will be a deep well approximately 150 meters in depth with a 7.5hp/28gpm submersible pump and motor electrically driven by a 35 KVA generator set with pump house. The pump will be connected to a 1-1/2 inches diameter g.i. main intake pipe housed in a 5 inches diameter b.i. pipe casing. Pumped water will be contained in a 30 cu.m. capacity reinforced concrete reservoir that will distribute water to farmlands through 6-8 cu.m. capacity secondary reservoirs and 4 inches diameter tributary polyethylene pipes designed to reach the farthest farm lot of the covered area.
The beneficiary, a group of farmers and farm land owners has a total membership of thirty (30) and each member is the head of the family with an average family members of six (6). The multiplier effect of this project will ultimately benefit the whole population of Teresa, the number of which is approximately 36,000 as of today.
The name of the community to be served is Pantay Farmers Group, an organization of farmers and farm land owners whose main source of income and livelihood is derived from their respective farmlands, the total area of which is twenty eight (28) hectares. This is just one of the so many farmer organizations in the third class Municipal Town of Teresa that depends on the assistance of the local government, most of these people were not educated and work expertise is on conventional farming only. They contribute to rice and vegetable production of the town that at present can not serve the demand of the population; in fact most of the rice and vegetables being sold in the town market came from other neighboring provinces having better production. There are several factors contributing to the downtrend of rice and vegetable harvest in this Municipality particularly to the area where this farmers group are working, they are:
1. Inadequate funding to purchase initial rice and vegetable seeds, farming equipment & tools.
2. Constant rise in the prices of pesticides and fertilizers.
3. Changing weather pattern because of global warming that greatly affects the cropping season, and
4. Lack of irrigation water during dry season.
Factor nos. 1 & 2 are perennial problems that farmers try to cope up with otherwise there will be no activities in the farm. Factor no. 3 causes unpredictable crop yield but still farmers have to continue with the farm works. Factor no. 4 although depends also on weather, it is the deteriorating condition of the source of irrigation water, in this case the river being polluted by the dumping of wastes of factories, poultry & piggery farms that greatly affect farming. This can be solved by providing alternative source of water; it is in this aspect that the Rotary Club of Teresa is working on, to provide a solution through the help of other foreign clubs and The Rotary Foundation.
