  • Geoecological Situation in the Volga-Akhtuba
    J. Wetlands Biodiversity (2019) 9: 23-44 HISTORY, HYDROLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF BALILI RIVER, LA TRINIDAD, PHILIPPINES Jones T. Napaldet and Inocencio E. Buot Jr. Received: 13.08.2019 / Accepted: 24.10.2019 Abstract: This study documented the history, hydrology and ecology of Balili River as part of its rehabilitation efforts. Balili River, historically, is the cradle of civilization in La Trinidad, Benguet. It started as a small creek, but was widened becoming the main drainage in the valley. The river was pristine up to Japanese times, though with urbanization of La Trinidad and Baguio City, it became severely polluted. Previous study revealed that the river was most polluted near Baguio City and improved downstream but this trend has no longer been observed in recent data, indicating several sources of pollutants from La Trinidad itself. The river has recorded very high BOD, nutrient load, coliform and lead beyond the permissible levels. Its polluted state is also reflected in its biodiversity, currently dominated by organic pollution-associated algae, common weeds and mosquito fish. Several efforts have been exerted to rehabilitate the river but it is still polluted. This could be partly attributed to the limited and lack of in-depth scientific studies on the river. Keywords: Balili River, La Trinidad, water quality Introduction:1 study by the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO 2013) of Balili River is an important water resource of Baguio City shows that half of the city's Baguio City and La Trinidad both historically population lives within the Balili watershed and economically.

  • La Trinidad Physical Profile & Socio-Economic
    La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 LA TRINIDAD PHYSICAL PROFILE & SOCIO-ECONOMIC 20141 I. PHYSICAL PROFILE General Location The capital town of Benguet Province, the Municipality of La Trinidad is located 256 kilometers north of Metro Manila. It is bounded on the north by the Municipality of Tublay, on the south by the city of Baguio, on the west by the Municipalities of Sablan and Tuba. Its geographical coordinates are 16 degrees, 21 minutes north latitude and 120 degrees and 35 minutes east longitude. The municipality is relatively the most developed settlement in the province of Benguet because of its proximity to the City of Baguio. It is the gateway of the southern lowlands into the Cordillera Region. Due to its advanced development, La Trinidad is considered as one of the Central Business Districts of Benguet. Philippines Cordillera Administrative Region Benguet Province Accessibility The municipality is accessible by land transport via the following entry points: from the Mt. Province through the Baguio-Bontoc Road; from La Union, through the Marcos Highway via the Pico-Lamtang; from Nueva Viscaya through the Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya Road; from Pangasinan, through Kennon road. All these roads converge at the City of Baguio. The nearest airport is located in nearby Baguio City, Loakan airport. Baguio- Manila travels take about 45 minutes flight or a 7-hour ride via land. Total road kilometerage for the whole municipality is 135.2 kilometers. The road network in the municipality exhibits a strong linear type of settlement characterized by a circumferential road that services the valley floor. Accessibility in the rural areas is still relatively inadequate, with generally very narrow roads.
