The lower Agusan River area is blessed with a bundant rainfall and fertile plain and has a big potential for agricultural development. In its w est bank is Butuan City, the center of economic activities of northern Mindanao. However, repeated flooding by overflowing of the Agusan River hindered economic activities, affected agricultural production, damaged properties, and endangered the population.
