Geographic Location
The Baras sub-basin comprises the municipality of Baras and some barangays from the
municipality of Morong and Tanay. The Marikina sub-basin bound it on the north, on the
east is the municipality of Tanay, the municipality of Morong in the west, and the Laguna
de Bay on the south (Table 5-1). The center of the sub-basin is defined by coordinates
121°16”12.63 E and 14°32”8.48” N.

Political and Administrative Boundary

The Baras watershed is bounded by the municipality of Baras and parts of Morong and
Tanay as seen in Figure 5-2. The watershed has 12 barangays namely, Evangelista,
Rizal (Poblacion), San Jose, San Salvador, Concepcion, San Juan, San Miguel, Mabini,
and Pinugay in the municipality of Baras, Barangay Lagundi in Morong and Barangay
Cuyambay and Plaza Aldea in Tanay.
It has a total area of 22,143,694.74 hectares, in which around 83% is composed of the
nine barangays of Baras while 16% comprises parts of the two Barangays of Tanay and
the rest is located in parts of Barangay Lagundi of Morong. Table 5-2 shows the
summary of the barangay within the watershed with its respective area and percentage.

Figure 5-2 Political Boundary
The total population in Baras watershed was estimated by the summation of the total
population of Baras municipality, Barangay Lagundi in Morong and Barangay Tandang
Kutyo in Tanay. Baras had a population of 24,514 per the year 2000 census. Barangay
Lagundi, Morong, had a population of 6,889 or 16.21 percent of the total municipal
population during the same census year. In the Tanay portion of the watershed,
Barangay Tandang Kutyo had a population of 12,789 or 16.33 percent of the total
population of the municipality in the same census year. In the year 2000, the total
population of the watershed is 44,183.
Land Cover
There are six classes of land cover in Baras sub-basin (urban, arable, plantation, grass,
brush and marsh), as a result of the land cover validation conducted by LLDA. Brush
and grassland dominates the whole sub-basin with area of 8,438,384.14 square meters
and 6,905,956.95 square meters, respectively, is seen in the northern to mid-portion of
the sub-basin while marshland has the smallest area with area of 464,970.76 square
meters found near the lake shore area. The urban area makes up 6% of the watershed
with area of 1,313,696.52 square meters which is found in the southern portion of the
watershed (Figure 5-3 and Table 5-3).

Water Balance
Based on the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC SMA) Hydrologic Model, the
summary of the 15-year water balance of the Baras sub-basin is presented in Table 5-6.
The average rainfall is 2,188, 31.12% of this turn as the actual evapotranspiration while
more than half becomes direct runoff. Base flow of the total runoff accounts to 13.35%
of rainfall and the rest is stored as groundwater and moisture in soil.
