Total Estimated Volume of Lahar Materials = 987,045,788 cubic meters
 The lahar deposits in the major river systems in
Zambales are essentially similar to those found in
Pampanga and Tarlac Provinces in terms of physical
and chemical character.
 Although magnetite bearing, the lahar material is not
an economically viable source for magnetite due to its
rather low content. The material is however very
suitable for use as sand for various civil works and
infrastructure projects.
 Dredging is the only viable engineering intervention
available to clear the major drainage systems and
mitigate flooding and inundation of built-up and
populated areas.
