The Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) in Central Luzon forms a strategic alliance with the Metropolitan
Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and the Local Government Units (LGUs) of
Norzagaray and San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan to address timber poaching,
squatting, kaingin-making and forest fire inside the 6,600-hectare Ipo
Watershed. Established under Presidential Proclamation 391 of 1968, the Ipo
watershed supplies domestic water to more than 11 million people of Metro
Manila. The Ipo dam has a storage capacity of 7.5 million cubic meters of fresh
water and lies about 7.5 kilometers downstream of Angat dam.
