Arsenia M Lumiquio Jones Tibingen Napaldet Benguet State University Abstract and Figures The water quality of rivers in Benguet Province was determined in terms of physical and chemical parameters. It is an attached agency of the Department of Energy (DOE). For the 2050 climate change parameter in Upper Agno Reservoirs, the appropriate global climate model (GCM) and output data set were selected from four (4) candidate GCMs, and the downscaled rainfall projection for 2050 was translated into monthly ratios to be used to rescale the historical rainfall data to represent the future rainfall. The highest peak is at Mount Pulag with an elevation of 2,922 meters above sea level located at the eastern part of the watershed. 5 Which is the most important watershed in the Philippines? color: #0B0B61; Harrison is believed to have sold his claim for less than 10 before leaving the area, and he was never heard from again.

The slope of the watershed is dominantly categorized as very steep and severely steep slope with slope greater than 50%. Acid mine drainage, as the phenomenon is called, has become a major ecological problem, because it dissolves many of the heavy elements, such as the uranium, cadmium, lead, zinc, copper, arsenic and mercury found in the mine dumps, facilitating their passage into surface water and ground water. [3][4] In a 1932 amendment, several parcels of land with an aggregate area of 1,026.8931 hectares (2,537.508 acres) were excluded from the forest reserve and converted into mining areas after 146 mineral claims were approved by Governor Theodore Roosevelt Jr.[5] More areas at the resource-rich forests of the Central Cordillera in Itogon and Tuba were opened up to mining in succeeding years by President Manuel L. Quezon, including 177.1203 hectares (437.674 acres) in the Itogon barrio of Talnag in 1938, 596.8853 hectares (1,474.936 acres) in Tuba and Itogon in 1939, and 17.5547 hectares (43.379 acres) in the barrios of Acupan, Antamok, Chalecno, Gumatdang and Virac in 1941.
