ABSTRACT
Water shortage is a global problem. While other people in some parts of

the world maybe enjoying enough supply of water others are faced with water
shortage. Kinoguitan is not an exception in this regard because some do not
have access to water but rely on distance conveyance. Government is under
constitutional obligation to supply this basic social and economic service. This
study, therefore, aimed at investigating the causes of water shortage and the
impact there of on the household of Poblacion, Kinoguitan in Misamis
Oriental Province. The data collected from four sections/localities of this
barangay showed that the area has a serious problem of water shortage. The
lack of water according to the findings negatively affects the livelihoods and
development of the people in Poblacion Kinoguitan.
INTRODUCTION
One of the most important life sustaining natural resources that a country should
continually protect, preserve and enhance is water. All forms of life depend on water.
Access to clean and potable water immensely contributes to the improvement of the quality
of life. The human body needs to continually consume regular amounts of water in order to
replace lost body fluids and to function properly. The production of food and raw materials
by the agricultural sector as well as the manufacturing, mining and construction activities in
the industrial sector all require huge amounts of water as a major input. The cheapest form
of electricity comes from hydroelectric power plants which rely on water flowing through
man made dams in various major river systems. The provision of uninterrupted water supply
improves the living conditions of all households and supports the continued expansion of
economic activities whether in agriculture, industry or the services sector. A severe water
shortage will lead to a deterioration in the quality of life as well as economic losses for firms
heavily dependent on water as a major input for production.
Water supplies are allocated and diverted to a range of agricultural, municipal,

industrial, and ecological needs. Some of these water uses are consumptive, removing
water from the system (e.g., crop irrigation). Other types of water use return the water to a
river, lake, or to the ground, but the water often requires treatment to restore it to a natural
state; sometimes this is not possible (e.g., industrial tailings ponds).
The balancing act involved in water management includes a broad range of
stakeholders and includes water policy and legal experts. Hydrologists have essential input
to these complex and sometimes confrontational deliberations and negotiations. They also
play a central role in applied hydrology – engineering of major waterworks to manage
water. Water distribution systems have been a hallmark of civilization since Babylon, and
the modern stamp on this includes major hydroelectric dams and reservoirs, urban
waterworks, and water treatment facilities.
These and other tools help governments to manage water resources in a way that serves
societal and ecological needs. However, water resource management is one of the world’s
greatest challenges due to competition for limited resources, regional disparities in water
supply and affluence, mounting global water demand, aquifer depletion, and pollution- and
climate-change induced water stress.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

According to Stone (2009:46) , water is everywhere in the world, its
becoming both a scarce and a crucial resource; particularly because both
people and industries need water and electricity for survival. Pob. Kinoguitan
is not an exception, as many households do not receive a regular supply of
water. The problem is escalating at an alarming rate as the number of
households in the township increases rapidly. These developments therefore,
call for an investigation of the causes and impact of water shortage on the
members of the households in the barangay.
This study will cover and answer the following questions:
1. What are the factors affecting water resources?
2. How did the local government take an action of this certain issues?
3. How it affects to the local community?
4. What could be the ways to restored water supply?
5. What measures should be put in place to alleviate the problem of water
shortage in Pob.Kinoguitan ?
OBJECTIVES:
Generally, this study aims :
1. To determine the alternative ways of restoring water supply
2. To identify the cause and effect of the problem
3. To elaborate the affected aspects of insufficient water supply
Significance of the study

Water is critical in sustaining life, crucial to economic growth, social
development as well as environmental sustainability (The Water Wheel,
2009:31-33). Therefore, the problem of water shortage is not just a local,
provincial, or national phenomenon but a global issue that affects individuals,
industries as well as the economies at large. Hence, this study is significant
since it seeks to address the impact of water shortage on the demand . The
findings may be useful not only in Pob. Kinoguitan but to the entire
Municipality in making informed decisions related to water supply in the
future. The study may also help to contribute to the already existing body of
knowledge as well as help to inform policy makers in government.
