What is a watershed?
PCEEM views a watershed as a stretch of land marked off by topographical features such as a ridge or mountain range, along which rain is caught and drained into a body of water like a river, lake, dam, irrigation system, or bay. Thus, a watershed encompasses the area that extends from the uplands to the downstream areas or lowlands, and the coast. Watersheds are also known as 'river basins' or 'catchments'.
PCEEM's conceptualization of watersheds translates to a paradigm shift in watershed management as it takes into account the interconnectedness of things no matter how distant or opposed to each other they may be.
What is Talomo-Lipadas Watershed?
The Talomo-Lipadas watershed is the source of 97% of the Davao City's drinking water. Following the PCEEM Davao definition of watersheds, the TLW cover a total of 53 barangays with a total land area of 38,000 hectares.
The TLW have all the elements of the ecosystems continuum: forests, marginal or grasslands, agricultural lands, river systems, population centers, and coasts. Within the TLWs are human constructs that are perceived threats to biodiversity as well as to the quality and quantity of Davao City's water reserves: monocrops (banana-, pineapple-, durian-, mangosteen-, rambutan-, and pomelo plantations), poultries and piggeries, cutflower business, resorts, residential subdivisions, experimental stations for agriculture, bottling companies, and the like. Moreover, unlike other watersheds that fall under different political boundaries, the TLWs are within the jurisdiction of one local government unit, Davao City. For these reasons, the TLWs were chosen as one of the sites of PCEEM Davao.
