Ambuklao Dam: Engineering Marvel and Hydropower Giant in Benguet
Ambuklao Dam is located in Barangay Ambuclao, Municipality of Bokod, Benguet, roughly 36 kilometers from Baguio City in northern Luzon. It spans the Agno River within the Upper Agno River Basin Resource Reserve, a protected watershed area that supplies water downstream while contributing to flood control and irrigation. This strategic location makes the dam crucial not only for energy but also for regional water management and environmental protection.
