KEY INFO: Plastic pollution in one of Davao City's key watersheds, this being the Panigan-Tamugan Watershed in Baguio District have worsened, affecting one of the city's water sources.

KEY INFO: Logging and mining have become factors that resulted in floods that hit the Agusan and Davao river basins.

KEY INFO: Macabol Forest & Watershed, which is located in Barangay Salaysay, Davao City is a vast land full of vegetation and home to many different species of animals. All of which should be preserved and protected from extreme logging.

KEY INFO: Flooding, amongst other issues, is one of the Philippines' premier issues. With that in mind, several projects were done to recover and reconstruct the Mindanao River Basin, the second-largest river system in the country.

KEY INFO: Amidst the pandemic, hundreds of facemasks have been found in key watersheds in Davao City that serve as our water source. As such, the proper disposal of these facemasks should be observed by everyone. Even now, as the pandemic has become more manageable.

KEY INFO: Plastic waste pollution in South Korea's rivers and watersheds has been contaminating freshwater ecosystems, adversely impacting water quality. Hence, stressing the importance of minimizing plastic debris in all areas. This also proves that plastic pollution in rivers and watersheds isn't just a national problem but a worldwide issue we all face. 

KEY INFO: Indigenous communities and volunteers are all doing their best to protect what is left of our available water sources from illegal activities and other similar harmful acts, especially since one of the city's water sources, which is the Talomo-Lipadas Watershed located in Toril District's water supply has been deemed insufficient. Now, they are doing their best to protect the adjacent Panigan-Tamugan Watershed in Baguio District.

KEY INFO: Despite the Philippines' beauty, it has a lot of glaring issues—one of those is water pollution. As most of us live near such bodies of water, many lives are negatively affected by the nasty smell, and especially the flood that happens as a result. 

KEY INFO: The Payment Ecosystem Services (PES) implementation is subjecting the Libungan Watershed in Cotabato to enhance its biodiversity protection. The watershed is home to eco-tourism sites and two river irrigation systems that provide water to 9,255 hectares of rice lands. 

Key Info: Protected watershed as local reservoirs of life—Balinsasayao twin lakes provide critical ecological functions, supplying half-a-million Negrenses with potable water all year. The watershed was declared among the six featured areas for the Year of the Protected Areas (YoPa) in 2000, highlighting this water ecosystem's role in nature.

KEY INFO: With its pristine waters, the local government eyes Tamugan River to be the next source of water in Davao City in the upcoming years. Also, the river is considered a water dam; hence, strict protection is implemented by authorities.

KEY INFO: Towns are built next to rivers so that people can use water from the river, but with modern times comes the pollution of rivers and streams with chemical contaminants that negatively affect the natural flow of the river, coming from factories, mines, and agricultural areas. Additionally, this infographic is based on the rivers of Mindanao, but is mainly enlightening about the state of Panigan-Tamugan River in Davao City.

KEY INFO: Davao River is mostly located in the heart of Davao City, with 66.5% of the basin’s total length of 86 kilometers located in the city. That's why we as Davaoeños should protect and give value to the river as we are the ones using it the most. 

KEY INFO: Forests have an indispensable biodiversity value; they make sure that rivers are in good condition as they are the source of water for the river, and forests are a key component in the water cycle. This statement just reiterates the importance of protecting and preserving Davao City's rivers.

Key Info: The locations or locales of Region 10 are the basis for this podcast. Also, the podcast mainly explores the value and significance of water in our daily lives and encourages young people to do their part, such as taking part in clean-ups to safeguard our water supplies. 

KEY INFO: A piece of additional information regarding a watershed's objectives, including its part in agricultural productivity and the preservation of biodiversity, is presented in the documentary with the participation of Dr. Rex Victor O. Cruz. He also visits these watersheds.

KEY INFO: By giving a general overview of the watersheds and dams in the Philippines, the Philippine Museum raises awareness of the importance of watersheds in preserving the sustainability and purity of our water supply. This is accomplished by discussing the functions performed by different governmental organizations in the administration and distribution of water from the dams to the community.

KEY INFO: 
The Interface Development Interventions, Inc. (IDIS), Foundation for the Philippine Environment (FPE), and United States Agency for International Development(USAID) conducted an examination and study of potential planning tools of more environmentally friendly techniques for managing watersheds in the Talomo-Lipadas and Panigan-Tamugan Watersheds Resources. Furthermore, different factors that negatively affect these watersheds were discussed. Such as stray pesticides, waste from piggeries, and more.

KEY INFO: A manual was published to assist watershed managers and field implementers in developing a comprehensive watershed characterization plan and vulnerability assessment. Furthermore, this manual was written in partnership with the College of Forestry and Natural Resources Faculty from the University of the Philippines Los Baños, which touches on the essential components of watershed characterization, ranging from biophysical aspects to socioeconomic variables. As a result, most workers are better educated on how to manage and maintain a watershed.

KEY INFO: The "Tampisaw" by Toti Cerda increases public awareness of environmental deterioration through art. It specifically showcases the Pasig River, which has actually been named one of the most polluted in the world. Hopefully, with sufficient intervention, our own Davao City watersheds won't reach such a point.
