Four Senior High School students under the guidance of Dr. Marla Maniquiz Redillas of the Civil Engineering Department – Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering Division in De La Salle University have been selected to present at the 3rd DLSU Senior High School Research Congress. The announcement was made last April 14 via Facebook and email.
Al Patrick Castro, Ma. Aleissa Janelle Castillo, Carmela Rose Timario, and David Timothy Go, who are currently on the STEM track and enrolled in PRACRES (Practical Research), submitted a research paper entitled Assessment on the Feasibility of Permeable Pavement for Sustainable Stormwater Management Using SWMM.
The feasibility of permeable pavement for sustainable stormwater management in a university setting, specifically the De La Salle University (DLSU) – Laguna Campus was investigated by the group. Moreover, the software Stormwater Management Model or SWMM was used to conduct the said study.
In the paper, it was concluded that permeable pavement is effective in infiltrating, storing, and reducing surface runoff, which is beneficial for long-term stormwater management and flood prevention strategies.
The group will present in at the virtual conference on April 30, 2021, Friday, via Zoom. The two-day DLSU Senior High School Research Congress will be held from April 29 to April 30. Click here for the event’s full schedule and list of activities.
