The water supply of the province is sourced from deep and shallow wells and spring. It has 48 rivers (with discharge capacity of 42,600.71 liters per second);
60 creeks; 38 springs (48,432 cubic meters a day) and two natural lakes.
All municipalities have efficient waterworks systems. Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog cities have water utilities -- the Cagayan de Oro City Water District and Gingoog Water District.
The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has tapped 18 rivers with highdischarge rates for irrigation. The constructed dams now provide water to 27 irrigation facilities.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has also constructed six intake boxes, eight reservoirs, and 10 small water-impounding dams for the irrigation of 1,538 upland beneficiaries.
Cagayan de Oro’s abundant water supply comes from ground water. With an average capacity of 128,176 cubic meters a day, Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD) is more than able to satisfy the existing average demand of 105,985 cubic meters daily. It maintains an average reserved capacity of 22,191 cubic meters a day.
On top of the generous supply of water is the COWD’s Bulk Water Supply Project which is now operational and serving selected areas in the city. This project provides additional water supply of 50, 000 cubic meters per day. It improves the capability of COWD to serve elevations higher than 35 meters above mean sea level (msd).
