| ABSTRACT : While a number of laws for the preservation and development of rivers have been enacted, effective enforcement by local government units is weak due to the absence of a local agency with which coordination can be made. What must be created is an efficient institutional machinery in each local government unit not only to implement such laws, but also to promote development of rivers, river systems, and natural waterways. | |

Abstract
While a number of laws for the preservation and development of rivers have been enacted, effective enforcement by local government units is weak due to the absence of a local agency with which coordination can be made. What must be created is an efficient institutional machinery in each local government unit not only to implement such laws, but also to promote development of rivers, river systems, and natural waterways.
