This study evaluated the catchment and flood prone area by
applying physical and numerical modeling. This described
rainfall data and presented evidences of flooding based from
extreme precipitation events. Mathematical models were
derived using the definition of discharge and Manning’s
formula which finally were used to estimate the sufficiency
of the river canal cross sectional area to transport great
amount of water flow. Mt. Isarog, mountain ranges of
Lagonoy and the low land area are the sources of flood water
in Lagonoy River. The amount of daily precipitation is
always insufficient to induce flooding except for a terrifying
event that the area was heavily affected. The river canal cross
sectional area is sufficient to accommodate flood water flow
but the position of the moon which is indicating differences
on river depth during full/new moon and first/third
quartermoon, high tide and low tide, and with heavy and
non-heavy rainfall.causes the flood while others are due to
river bends, insufficient design of spillway and obstruction
of irrigation waterway.

1. Introduction
Climate in the Philippines is influenced by complex interaction of various factors such as
geography and topography. More extreme weather events are coming with more people
affected by typhoon related hazards. Duration and intensity of rainfall events have changed
