Subproject Completion Report: Saug Watershed Subproject

The Saug Watershed Subproject which covers a total area of 2,903.00 hectares is located within Compostela Valley and Davao del Norte in Region XI. More than 10,000 hectares of irrigable ricelands in the municipalities of Nabunturan, COMVAL and New Corella and Montevista are dependent on the water channels originating from these upland areas. Agricultural production however had been plagued by destruction of crops caused oftentimes by massive flooding because of the Saug Watershed deforestation .

Direct income for beneficiary communities were provided when the members were hired to do Community Site Development activities apart from income they get from the livelihood projects. Of the three POs involved in the project, the one to garner the highest in household income level was the SAMABACO with the average annual income of households going up from PHP27,164.30 (before project implementation) to PHP47, 658.31 as of December 2002.

The Subproject has provided farm-to-market road and bridges as well as various equipment and facilities that are useful in Project operation and in livelihood activities.
