Philippines Sipalay flood Control Project

The City of Sipalay is one of the cities in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines, located in the most southwestern part of Negros Island . The place has a long history of land use that contributed to the degrading state of its watersheds. Being a highly mineralized area, mining exploration has been the first and major industrial venture that has resulted in the operation of two mining companies since 1957. Both mining operations though, have been suspended in 2001 until to date.
