Upgrading of
Alangilan Irrigation Project

Granada, Bacolod City
Description of
the Area:
The source of
water is the Igmaluya Creek and the earth canal
traverses along the steep bank of the creek which
is subjected to landslides during the occurrence
of rainfall. These landslides cover the earth
canal thereby obstructing the free flow of water
and also cause damages to portions of the canal.
