TEMPORARY BRUSH DAM

A temporary brush dam was recently constructed at Tanggal Baybayaoas along the Camiling River in Brgy. Baybayaoas, Mayantoc, Tarlac. This annual structure plays a crucial role during the dry season, diverting water into creeks that feed into Lateral P-16 and Lateral A-10 of the NIA-CAMRIS irrigation system.

The dam serves as the main irrigation water source for three Irrigators’ Associations (IAs): CAM. EAST FIA, portions of CASUR FIA, and SINBAMA FIA. It provides water for approximately 400 hectares in the eastern part of Camiling, benefiting around 600 farmer-beneficiaries.

NIA Tarlac IMO utilized various equipment for the project, including a Zoomlion crawler backhoe, a Volvo wheel excavator, and two dump trucks. This solution is vital for sustaining agricultural productivity during the dry months and addressing the seasonal water challenges in the area.
