1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES There are 421 rivers in the country, not counting small mountain streams that sometimes swell to three times their usual size during rainy months. The rivers are an important means of transportation and a valuable source of water for irrigation for the fields and farms through which they pass. There are also 59 natural lakes and more than 1,000km2 of freshwater swamps. The five principal river basins, each with an area of more than 5,000km2, are: -Mindanao River basin in Mindanao island (23,169 km2) -Agusan River basin in Mindanao island (10,921 km2); -Pampanga River basin near Manila in Luzon island (9,759 km2); -Agno River basin in Luzon island (5,952 km2); Only 18 river basins have an area greater than 1,000km2: eight of them are in Mindanao island, seven in Luzon island, two in Panay island and one in Negros island. The smallest river basins are frequently less than 50km2. In order to have manageable units for the comprehensive planning of water resources, the National Water Resources Council has divided the country into 12 water resources regions. Major considerations taken into account in this regionalization were the hydrological boundaries defined by physiographic features and homogeneity in climate of the different parts of the country. In fact, these water resources regions generally also correspond to the existing political regions in the country. Minor deviations dictated basically by hydrography affected only northern Luzon and northern Mindanao. The average annual precipitation is estimated at 2,348mm. The long-term average annual renewable surface water resources are estimated at 444km3. In nine years out of ten, the annual runoff exceeds 257km3. Groundwater resources are distributed in four major areas with a total area of around 33,500km2: 10,000km2 in Cagayan, 9,000km2 in Central Luzon, 8,500km2 in Agusan and 6,000km2 in Cotobato. Combined with the smaller reservoirs already identified, this aggregates to an area of about 50,000km2. The groundwater resources are estimated at 180km3/year, of which 80 per cent (145km3/year) constitute the base flow of the river systems. Total internal water resources therefore amount to 479km3/year. There are 59 natural lakes and more than 1000km2 of freshwater swamps. The National Wetland Action Plan, in response to the country’s commitments to the Ramsar Convention, nominated and designated the four major wetlands in the country, with a total surface area of 684km2, as Wetlands of International Importance. These include Olango Island (Cebu), Naujan Lake National Park (Oriental Mindoro), Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary (Agusan del Sur) and the Tubbataha Reefs National Marine Park in the middle of the Central Sulu Sea. The Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, 148km2 in area, is of particular importance because it includes a vast complex of freshwater marshes and watercourses, with numerous shallow lakes and ponds in the upper basin of the Agusan river and its tributaries rising in the hills of eastern Mindanao. A survey of surface water storage potential has identified sites for 438 major dams and 423 smaller dams. Total dam capacity in 2006 was 6,274.5 million m3. The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has constructed seven large dams and small reservoirs for irrigation projects, with a total capacity of 6,180 million m3. In the Philippines, a dam is considered large when the storage capacity exceeds 50 million m3 and the structural height is more than 30m. The newest large dam, constructed in 2002, is the San Roque dam with a total capacity of 850 million m3. Two of the large dams, with a total capacity of 3,560 million m3, are managed by the NIA: Magat for the Magat River Integrated Irrigation System (MRIIS) and Pantabangan for the Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation System (UPRIIS). Three of the large dams, with a total capacity of 1,679 million m3, are managed by the National Power Corporation (NPC): Angat, Ambuklao and Palangui IV. The NPC operates and manages three other dams in Mindanao, with a total capacity of approximately 27.7 million m3: Agus II, IV and V. For municipal water supply and sanitation serving Metro-Manila areas, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) manages two dams: the La Mesa Dam and Ipo Dam, with storage capacity of 51 and 36 million m3 respectively. All other small dams have been created with various objectives within the framework of the small water impounding management (SWIM) projects and are jointly managed by the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM), the NIA and, lately, the Department of Agrarian Reform, through various international funding agencies. SWIM account for 350 units of 270,000 m3 on average, representing a total of 94.5 million m3.
