Soil type of the barangay is Ubay clay, steep phase (354) which is represented by cogonal areas which are roughly rolling, hilly, and mountainous. This soil phase dominates the roughly rolling to hilly and mountainous areas. It is severely eroded with plenty of igneous and dolomitic rock boulders as outcrops. This area is well-dissected by deep ravines, intermittent rivers and creeks. Hydrogeology
The quality of water of Barangay Cawayan Interior is rated poor to fair with sediments content. This is due to the fact that their main source of water comes from shallow well/dugwell and deep well. Only 4.81% of the total households have access to safe water coming from deep well and community water system which is sourced out from its spring located in Purok 1. Shallow well/dug well are considered unsafe for drinking purposes because it is prone to contamination from animal and human activities.

Roads
Road is significant to development since it facilitates the mobility of people and agricultural products in the area. Primarily it promotes economic activity. However, the lack of economic opportunities due to absence of basic infrastructure and utilities such as electricity and accessibility through roads left the residents in Cawayan Interior with insufficient livelihood source and has caused considerable out-migration.
Barangay Cawayan Interior is the most difficult barangay to reach.
Basically, road is non existent, and only the mountainous trails are being used in going there through 2.5 kilometers of trekking and hiking in its mountainous terrain. It is far more difficult to get there during rainy days. Only trails are used in going there, hence only motorbikes can reach the area. With the on going construction of the coastal road, it is hoped that this barangay will have an all weather road.
Within the barangay, roads are
rough and some parts are graveled. Concrete pathways are commonly present in the barangay which links its puroks and sitios. In Purok 1, which serves as the center of the barangay, there is a pathway connecting it from the elementary school.
Drainage and Sewerage Drainage and sewerage are practically non-existent. Natural drains from rain flow directly to the open canals which can cause soil erosion especially in upland barrios. Drains from household consumption also go directly to open canals causing water flow displacement.

Electricity As an upland barangay, access to electricity is difficult especially with the given situation of the area with no roads connecting to any other barangays. Considering its distance with mountainous and rocky terrain, the Masbate Electric Cooperative (MASELCO) found it impractical to put up an access for electricity in the barangay with only few households to serve. A 5 kva generator set owned by the barangay which serves as the source of electricity of few households which operates from 6 PM to 10 PM only. The majority use kerosene lamp during night time.
Transportation
Because the road is non existent in the
barangay, no vehicles of any kind can reach the area. The barangay can be reached through a walk from barangay Batuhan and Cawayan Exterior.

Solid Waste
As an upland barangay, wastes are primarily composed of biodegradable, non biodegradable and agricultural wastes. There are no establishments such as factories that produce hazardous wastes. Biodegradable wastes mainly came from domestic garbage such as food wastes and papers. This is dumped through burning and composting. Papers are being used through recycling.
Non biodegradable wastes such as plastics, cans and bottles also came
from household consumption. The residents usually reuse the plastics from mineral water and bottles. This is being used as water containers or other useful materials. Cans are used as flower pot or other decorative and functional materials.
Agricultural wastes comprises only of dried leaves, coconut and corn
husks and palay grains. Fertilizer wastes are considered very minimal. Storage and Collection
The garbage management of the barangay is practiced through burning of biodegradable wastes and recycling. Composting and recycling is commonly practiced by the residents because garbage collection services of the city cannot reach the upland barangay.

Of 148 households, 140 or 95% of this don’t have a safe water source.Majority of the infrastructure projects are devoted to water development starting next year. This is done to ensure that the barangay has adequate supply of water use for domestic activities and drinking purposes.
Construction of Level II water project (communal faucet) that will cover all the puroks.
Regular chlorination of open dug wells as well as deep and shallow wells.
Regular monitoring of water sources
2. On proportion of households with income below poverty threshold
Poverty is the utmost concern of the barangay. Out of 148 households, 106 or 72% of this are living below poverty threshold.

Thus, better economic alternatives are being introduced through the program of cooperative development, livelihood assistance, pre and post harvest facilities distribution and skills training development.
Encourage potential product development which is abundant in the barangay such as coconut and bamboo.
Skills training on automotive, welding, electronics and driving
Sessions on character development
Promote and encourage small scale business or enterprise

As an agricultural community, provision of pre and post harvest facilities will of great help to the farmers.
Introduce new farm technologies

3. On proportion of children 13-16 years old not in high school

However, out of 86 number of population which is 13-16 years old, 68 or 79% are not attending high school. This posted an alarming social problem of the barangay because more than half of the secondary aged population are not in school.

Every year the city government distributes steel bars, cement and toilet bowls for the construction of sanitary toilet. However, some are indifferent towards the program.
The Barangay council together with the midwife and health workers must intensify the monitoring of the construction of sanitary toilet to the recipients of the materials from the city government.
