Magat River
The Magat Dam is located on the Magat River, which is the largest tributary of the Cagayan River on the island of Luzon.[1] Cagayan is the longest river in the Philippines.[1] The Magat River has an estimated yearly water discharge of 9,808 million cubic meters and has an approximate crest length of 4,160 meters with its headwaters in the province of Nueva Vizcaya and its confluence with the Cagayan River in the province of Isabela

The portion of the Magat River on which Magat Dam is located forms part of the boundary between the provinces of Ifugao and Isabela and this is the reason for the dispute between the local governments of the two provinces over the jurisdiction of Magat Dam.

Magat Dam is a large rock-fill dam. Constructed in 1983, it is one of the largest dams in the Philippines and has two primary purposes, as a source of irrigation water and as a provider of hydroelectric power.
