A P545-million earth fill dam will be constructed in the island province of Guimaras with over 1,300 farmers seen to benefit from the project, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) announced.
The Small Reservoir Irrigation Project (SRIP) includes the construction of a 29.87-meter high zoned earth fill dam and a 375-meter spillway.
The dam, located in the town of San Lorenzo, will source water from Cabano River and serve a farming area of 861 hectares.
