	Physiographic Setting of Affected Areas
		Dagupan City is situated at the eastern margin of the delta of Agno River.
		Although a high energy environment prevails along the shores of Lingayen Gulf, the delta front of Agno River continues to prograde slowly due apparently to the confinement of sediment redistribution within the Lingayen-Dagupan shoreline.
		Discrete groups or bundles of parallel coastal ridges separated by discontinuities indicating the changes in channel positions (Psuty, 1967) may exist within a A: delta, with the bundles occurring in pairs and are symmetrically disposed with respect to the active emptying points of distributary channels.

	The Dam and the Women of Dalupirip
		Construction of the San Roque Dam across the Agno River which flows through the northern Philippine provinces of Benguet and Pangasinan will bring hydropower to big business but misery to the people of Dalupirip.
		The high rates of siltation and erosion resulting from the mining operations further puts in question the economic lifespan of the dam, and with it, the technical feasibility and social desirability of the project.
		And if their planned operations push through, the siltation of the Agno River will increase tremendously, affecting areas proportionately larger than what the NPC claims.
