    2014 Philippine Forestry Statistics Forest Management Bureau 2014 Philippine Forestry Statistics FOREWORD The Philippine Forestry Statistics is an annual publication of the Forest Management Bureau, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. It provides basic information on forestry in the country. The data comprising this edition are presented in six (6) parts: Part I refers to forest cover, forest resources, and forest activities; Part II contains forest resources utilization; Part III presents the summary data on foreign trade; Part IV provides price information of logs, processed wood products as well as non-timber forest products; Part V indicates the revenues derived from the utilization of forest resources; and Part VI pertains to other statistics relevant to forestry. Most of the data presented in this publication were collected from administrative reports of the DENR Regional Offices. Others were secondary data gathered from various agencies such as the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). We wish to extend our sincere acknowledgement to the different government agencies and other stakeholders for their invaluable assistance in making this publication possible. RICARDO L.

Rapporten er: Apen The phi lippines. Opplag: 50 A field and desk study. Saksbehandler/Forfatter: Leif-Egil LØrum EDB-kontoret Oppdragsgiver: NORCONSULT A. S. Sammendrag: Hydrologien i de sentrale deler av Bohol-provinsen på Filippinene er vurdert på grunnlag av feltbefaring og analyse av allerede publiserte nedbør- og avløpsdata. Datagrunnlaget for estimering av hydrologiske parametre til bruk ved forprosjektstudie av vannkraftverk i provinsen er relativt spinkelt. Middelavløp, flomstørrelser og lavvannsverdier er overført til prosjektområdene ved hjelp aven antatt sammenheng med nedbørfeltenes størrelse og beliggenhet. Varighetskurven fra den antatt beste måle• stasjonen er foreløpig valgt som representativ for de sentrale deler av Bohol. En vesentlig kompliserende faktor er de karst-hydrologiske problemene i området. Eksistensen av drenering i undergrunnen er åpenbar enkelte steder. Det topografiske og hydrologiske vannskillet stemmer ikke overens for nedslagsfeltet til Bilar River. En reduksjon til effektivt drenering sa real er antydet. En forsvarlig analyse av hydrologien i området krever at supplerende målestasjoner opprettes så snart som mulig. Enkelte eksisterende måle• stasjoner kan dessuten forbedres. Flere alternativer for
