The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has started the desilting of Malandog River as an essential undertaking to sustain the sound eco-system in the area. Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer Andres T. Undal underscored the necessity to remove the silt materials which block the natural flow of water from the downstream to estuarine area of the river. Likewise, the desilting will be of great help in the improvement of discharge flow capacity and enhancement of river ecosystems.
