FOREWORD The development and utilization of the country's water resources has evolved over a long period in a setting of abundant natural resources and practically without the benefit of a broad planning framework considering available resource supply and existing regional needs. With fixed water resources to serve the changing growth patterns and the increased use of water among a rapidly expanding population, the past trend of development should now be re-oriented to a broader perspective, if we are to avoid long-run water problems in the future. Against this backdrop, the National Water Resources Council was created under Pres idential Decree 424 to carry out the policy of the government in encouraging the conserv ation, development and optimum utilization of water and related land resources on a comprehensive and coordinated basis in order to meet the present and future water needs of the country. In pursuing its task, the Council undertakes comprehensive river basin and regional framework studies which serve as guides to detailed planning of water resources develop ment by concerned line agencies and help determine a reasonable starting point together with the factors and linkages which will have to be considered to make reasonably correct and meaningful decisions. The framework plan on Tagum-Libuganon Basins forms a part of the council's effort to establish the water and related land resources relationship on a basinwide approach for the framework study of Water Resource Region XI.
