 LUMOT LAKE
Lumot Lake is also known as Sierra Lake. A
man-made impounding reservoir. It was one of
the sources of drinking water of the residents of
Barangay Lumot-Mahipon Cavinti, Laguna.
ORIGIN
 ORIGIN
The word lumot
translates to “moss” in
English. There isn’t any
moss in the lake of course.
The name applies to the
deep-green color of the
lake.
 ORIGIN
• The lake was created when Lumot Dam, an
embankment dam, was constructed damming the
Lumot River,
• Creating an auxiliary water reservoir for Lake
Caliraya as part of the. Kalayaan Pumped-Storage
Hydroelectric Plant
• It was built by American engineers in 1943
 ORIGIN
According to the residents of Cavinti, Lumot Lake
is a former rice field and it is has many small rivers
before. The rivers always overflow because of the
heavy rain, in solution to this the residents together
with the local government officials decided that the
rice field, coconut grove and the rivers be converted
to a large river but later on it is called Lumot Lake that
became the foundation of fishing industry in the
town.
LOCATION
 LOCATION
Lumot Lake was found in the town of Cavinti.
Cavinti is a 3rd class municipality in
the Province of Laguna, Philippines. It is situated in the
foothills of Sierra Madre mountain range, and part of
the 4th congressional district of Laguna. The
Municipality of Cavinti lies on the eastern portion of
Laguna.
CHARACTERISTICS
 CHARACTERISTICS
The elevation of two man-made lakes, the
Caliraya and Lumot Lake, built for hydroelectric
purposes are about 292 meters.
 CHARACTERISTICS
Just as other surface waters (lakes, ponds,
streams etc.) Lumot Lake also consists of
freshwater.
 CHARACTERISTICS
The water in Lumot Lake is mostly calm.
Around the middle there’s a weak current, and
in the morning it’s possible to get sweep away.
 CHARACTERISTICS
Lumot Lake is less developed than the
bigger Lake Caliraya but both lakes are
popular spots for water sports and largemouth
bass fishing.
 SOIL TEXTURE
Aside from the lake itself, the
islands around it are also
distinct in themselves. The soil
seems to be made of red
clay. Toward the lake it
slowly turns to mud, and soft
clumps of it cling to the feet.
Underwater, it feels smooth
and silty.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC
Many of the residents
of the town made the lake
as a source of income that
helped them in their
economic development.
Some of them were
boatmen, fish farm owners,
fish vendors, fishermen.
