Project Information

The proposed Balbalungao Small Reservoir Irrigation Project (SRIP) aims to provide sustainable development in the rural area by improving agricultural productivity in support to the agricultural development program of the government.

Its specific objectives are:

a. To increase agricultural production through the provision and improvement of irrigation and drainage structures in the area
b. To increase farmers income and uplift the standard of living.

The Balbalungao SRIP shall utilize the water resources potential of the Balbalungao River through the construction of an embankment dam with a height of 27.0 meters (m), canal network and pertinent structures, and the rehabilitation of the existing diversion dam of San Isidro Communal Irrigation System (CIS), envisioned to eventually function as regulating dam. Initial environmental and social impact assessment for the project has identified the potential significant environmental impacts, the appropriate mitigation measures and key pointers for succeeding steps towards the processing of application for Environmental Compliance Certificate.

Consultancy services focus on the acquisition of Environmental Compliance Certificate for Balbalungao SRIP.
