Mineral resources

THE SITUATION: GEO-PHYSICAL

Air environment (air, pollution, water)

Water environment (quality, saline intrusion)

Biological environment (forest-watershed resources,

protected areas

Biodiversity (flora, fauna)

THE SITUATION: ENVIRONMENTAL

Supports agriculture and fisheries

Major lakes are: Lake Sebu, Lake Seloton, Lake Lahit, Lake Maughan (all

found in Ala River Sub-basin with estimated total area of 787 has.) and

Lake Buluan (largest with a total of 6,300 has. & found within Buluan

Sub-basin)

Ligawasan Marsh (a conglomerate of 3 marshes:Ligawasan, Ebpanan &

Libungan) with total area of ≈280,000 has.

THE SITUATION: WETLAND

Forest land around 1,048,648 has (≈45% of MRB 2,312,293 has)• ≈19% with closed canopy covering >50 percent;• ≈18% open canopy covering <50 percent;• ≈63% converted into various land uses.

Closed- and open-canopy forests gradually being transformed into other uses: agriculture, commercial forestry, road construction & rural development.

THE SITUATION: WATERSHED

Seriously suffering from widespread degradation

Diminished ecological and economic functions: biodiversity maintenance, carbon sequestration, watershed protection, and local communities’ ability to harvest timber and non-timber forest products

Diminished forest cover may have contributed to intensification of ‘natural disasters’ such as flash floods, water shortages, and landslides.

THE SITUATION: WATERSHED

Demography (NSO 2007) Maguindanao most populous w/ 1,273,715; Sarangani least w/ 475,514

Maguindanao highest PGR at 6.99%; Davao Sur lowest PGR at 1.12%

Maguindanao least w/ 73.06 persons/km2

Davao Sur has highest urban population w/ 976, 279 while Sarangani

has lowest w/ 79,915

Davao Sur has highest rural population w/ 1,209,479; Sarangani has

lowest w/ 395,599

Sarangani lowest palay producer w/ 43,440 MT

Bukidnon highest corn producer w/ 777,642 MT followed by

Maguindanao (556,552 MT)


Poverty High poverty incidence (than national average of 20.9%;

Maguindanao has highest poverty incidence at 44.6%;

No. poor families highest in Davao del Sur followed by South Cotabato;

Estimated proportion of families w/ per capita income < poverty threshold

(2009) in Dalika Sub-basin are

38 out of 100 families in MBRB considered poor


Human Development Maguindanao has lowest HDI at 0.461, Lanao Sur has 0.464

Lanao Sur has NER higher than national average at 127.09%

Maguindanao has lowest NER for primary education w/ 56.08%

Bukidnon has lowest NER for secondary education w/ 24.07%

IMR in all sub-basins below national rate of 9.3 deaths per 1000 live births w/ municipalities

w/i M’lang Sub-basin lowest IMR w/ 2.31

Municipalities w/i Banga Sub-basin has highest IMR w/ 5.24

Half of all sub-basin areas has high MMR than national of 63.3 maternal deaths per 100K

with municipalities w/i Dalika Sub-basin w/ highest MMR at 79.45

Municipalities w/i MRB & MBRB have low professionally-delivered livebirths w/ only 50/100


Access to safe potable water 14 out of 20 MRB sub-basins have access to safe potable water higher than

the national average of 82% (2008 FHSIS-DOH) However, areas w/i Dalika Sub-basin recorded only 67% of its household with

access to safe water supply. In MBRB, 86.55% have access to safe water supply which is also higher than

the national average

Access to sanitary toilet Low proportion of households in all sub-basins compared to 77% national level Areas w/i Banga Sub-Basin has highest proportion of household with sanitary

toilet w/ 74.6%


On Water Use & Resources: 32 agencies involved in regulation

On Watershed: DENR lead on policy; LGUs lead in protection

On DRRM/CCA: NDRRMC lead, NEDA coordination, LGU

implementation

On MRB: PTFMRBRD lead in coordination w/ DENR, DPWH, NEDA

THE SITUATION: POLICIES

On Watershed Management Land use conflict between agricultural lands (Alienable and Disposable Lands)

and forest lands

Deforestation has undermined livelihoods of upland communities by

accelerating erosion on upper agricultural lands & reducing forest product flows

Denudation & degradation of forest causes soil erosion resulting in severe

siltation, exacerbated downstream flooding and sedimentation leading to

destruction of ecologically important areas like marshes & other wildlife

sanctuaries.

THE ASSESSMENT

On Watershed Management (cont’d) Specific land use plan must be drawn covering technical and financial

aspects of watershed management

LGUs as key stakeholders and decision makers on watershed protection

should recognize land uses w/i watersheds can either positively or

negatively influence the important role and function in the capture,

storage and transport of water

Poor watershed management reduces filtering function of watershed

resulting to increase runoff and sediment load that cause flooding.

THE ASSESSMENT

On Wetland Management No clear, unitary policy on wetland management Unstable Peace and Order Conditions (specific for the marshes) Insufficient Information and Appreciation of the Wetland Functions Siltation and Sedimentation Encroachment of Human Settlement Absence of Institutional Mechanisms to Protect and Manage Wetlands

THE ASSESSMENT

On Water Use and Resource Management Present water resource regulation is weak

Most number of water right permits used for commercial and

industrial purposes

Potential irrigable areas could not be developed effectively due to lack

of irrigation master plan

Based on consultation workshops, there are still pockets of poor access

to safe water and sanitary toilets in some far-flung communities.

THE ASSESSMENT

On Human Development Extreme and lingering poverty Social conflict Further reduce infant mortality High Maternal Mortality Low schooling rate Need for more access to safe potable water & sanitary toilet

THE ASSESSMENT

On Institutional Development

No single organization managing the MRB/MBRB

No clear, unitary policy on river basin management at national & local

level

Sector approach within administrative and geo-political boundaries

Need for a new institutional arrangement to manage the entire

MRB/MBRB wholistically and as a unitary unit

THE ASSESSMENT

On Watershed ManagementRehabilitation of all degraded and critical watersheds in the project area

Implementation of protection works for all those remaining (including

degraded) healthy watersheds

Implementation of proper land and water management practices

Updating of plans for Proclaimed Watersheds (WFR) & Protected Landscape

Conduct of community organizing, IEC campaign including watershed

management training to watershed key stakeholders

Provide livelihood projects for watershed communities

THE PROPOSED SOLUTION-THE PLAN

On Wetland Management

Improve Peace and Order Conditions in the Marsh Areas Resource Assessment and Valuation of the Wetland Areas Wetland Rehabilitation Prevent Further Human Encroachment in the Wetland Areas Institutionalize Wetland Protection and Management

THE PROPOSED SOLUTION- THE PLAN

On Water Use & Resource Management Focus on the development of national irrigation system (NIS)

LGUs should assist thru communal irrigation system (CIS)

Watershed should be protected, rehabilitated and maintained

Strengthen LGU water and sanitation program


On Flooding & Other Hazards Disaster risk reduction prioritized by LGUs & other instrumentalities (line

agencies, coordinative bodies and other formations) at all levels (from

barangay to basin).

Risks properly assessed & early warning systems for multi-hazards established

at all levels (barangay to basin).

A culture of safety and resilience prevails among the MRB populace.

Compounding risk factors are reduced.

Disaster preparedness is strengthened at all levels (barangay to basin).


On Human Development Expand enrolment to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)

Food for School Program

Promotion of Technical and Vocational Education / Job fitting

Improve Access and Delivery of Health Services

Income Augmentation / Livelihood Programs
