Iponan River, Cagayan de Oro City : Muddy




This picture was taken late November, 2007 on a sunny day and for weeks it has not rained around Cagayan de Oro and Talakag, Bukidnon areas...It has been observed by those near the river banks that this situation has been that muddy for years now. The river is virtually dead and has affected the nearby shores of Bulua and Bayabas.. It seems that gold mining activities upstream is most likely the culprit.. Action from the local government to stop this is sorely needed.
