II. DESCRIPTION


(Describe the physical features of the water formaCon)

Ang ilog ay may kakaunVng tubig na lang. Maaring puntahan ang ilog sa pamamagitqn ng river walk na

ngunit tuwing tag-ulan at may malakas na bagyo, ito ay kalimitan na umaapaw. Ang tubig ng ilog ay
nagsisimula sa Laguna Lake sa may Brgy. Dela Paz. Papunta na itong Brgy. Tibagan.

Sinasabi ng ibang residente, noong panahon ng mga kasVla, mayroong mga nakatanim na bamboo sa ilog
at mas malapad ito kumpara ngayon. Nakaroon din ng pagkakataon na mayroon itong floaVng market
