- Sediment: some information about it
- In Magat River, a major infrastructure for irrigation and hydropower, bathymetric surveys showed that more than 30% reservoir trapping efficiency is reduction. Annual average sedimentation rate in the reservoir of 20 MCM/yr which is 5.5 times higher than the design. The rate of siltation in the live storage is 16.3 MCM/yr and 3.7m MCM/yr in the dead storage. Hence, it is expected that the power generation will cease most probably within 5 years without partial flushing implementation, while the irrigation service area will be reduced by 393 ha/yr
