Resumen

Stricter measures should be adopted for their better protection, development, management and rehabilitation of watersheds. The Ministry of Energy has a mandate to formulate and implement the government's policies, plans and programs on the development of energy resources of all kinds. In the believe that the Ministry is in a better position than the Bureau of Forest Development to protect, manage, develop and rehabilitate watershed areas, now control, jurisdiction and regulation of all watersheds shall be transferred from the Bureau to the Ministry of Energy. The Ministry of Energy may exercise its powers, functions, and responsibilities over watershed areas and reservations through the National Power Corporation (NPC) or another designated government agency. Tasks of protection shall include but not be limited to: identification of watershed areas which require immediate rehabilitation and development; preparation of plans and programs for the maximum utilisation of watershed resources; formulation of plans and development programs for resettlement and relocation; undertake afforestation, reforestation and physical rehabilitation measures in critically denuded watershed areas; and development, maintenance and management of tree farms within adequately vegetated watersheds for the production of transmission line poles.
