Three turnout areas each located from the upstream, middle and downstream sections of Lateral A of the Lower Talavera River Irrigation System in Central Luzon, Philippines were selected during the 1979 dry season to document the extent of farm water distribution problems. In order of decreasing importance, the following physical parameters were found to influence water distribution on the farms: (a) farm elevation relative to their turnouts, (b) accessibility to the (supply) farm ditches, (c) percentage sand sized particles in the soil and (d) farm ditch density. The paddy overland distance from the turnout becomes a significant problem in water distribution interacting with cases of inadequate hydraulic working head at the turnout. Some of the common farmer's interference behavior, such as checking, breaking embankment, closing and opening of turnout gates at will, and disturbing measuring devices are, in large measure, their rational responses to a physical system that does not fit well to their needs and desires. An improved design method, the "Custom Fit Design Technique" was introduced to account for the topographically high paddies that are frequently included in the service areas of most gravity systems. Hence, resulting in the layouts and design of field distribution network that reflects well the existing topography.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a global shock that is significantly affecting coastal social-ecological systems (SES) in different parts of the world. Its widespread impacts have unravelled vulnerabilities in many aspects of society, including food systems. Our study investigated the impacts of a lockdown associated with the pandemic in the province of Bulacan, in the region of Central Luzon, Philippines, where aquaculture and capture fisheries are important and interconnected sectors. In particular, we focused on impacts related to production and market. We considered people’s coping strategies and the factors that enabled such strategies. Our investigation adopted a case study approach and drew on qualitative data analysed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed differentiated mechanisms through which aquaculture and capture fisheries production were impacted. Both were strongly affected by market disruptions but through slightly different ways. In effect, the lockdown provided the impetus for the uptake and spreading of practices that were previously peripheral, particularly in relation to market exchanges. The study also identified a variety of coping strategies, as well as the importance of social support in the form of food aid, financial assistance, and institutional livelihood assistance. Finally, it discusses the importance of diversity in food sources, the role of local food systems, and governance implications for foregrounding social-ecological resilience in short-term response and long-term recovery.
