It originates in the [Nueva Vizcaya](/source/Nueva_Vizcaya) municipality of [Aritao](/source/Aritao), where the [Santa Fe River](/source/Santa_Fe_River_(Luzon)) joins the [Marang](/source/Marang_River). It is the largest [tributary](/source/tributary) of the [Cagayan River](/source/Cagayan_River) by [discharge](/source/discharge_(hydrology)) volume of water, with an estimated [drainage area](/source/drainage_area) of {{convert|5,200|km2}}, roughly twenty percent of the total drainage area of the Cagayan River. ==Tributaries== The following are the tributaries of the Magat River by length: *Alimit River – {{cvt|99.4|km}} *Matuno River – {{cvt|84.7|km}} *Ibulao River – {{cvt|78|km}} *Taotao River – {{cvt|61.1|km}} *Santa Cruz River – {{cvt|54.8|km}} *Padol River – {{cvt|38.5|km}} *Lamut River – {{cvt|38|km}} *Santa Fe River – {{cvt|33.6|km}} *Benay River – {{cvt|30.1|km}} *Marang River – {{cvt|28.4|km}} *Manga River – {{cvt|28.3|km}} *Balasig River – {{cvt|21.4|km}} ==Magat River Integrated Irrigation System== The [Magat River Integrated Irrigation System Project](/source/Magat_Dam), started by the [National Irrigation Administration](/source/National_Irrigation_Administration) in the 1960s, is one of the Philippine's largest [irrigation](/source/irrigation) projects with [hydroelectric](/source/hydroelectric) power generation capacity. Its total cost amounted to US$500 million. {{cite web|url=http://www.nwin.nwrb.gov.ph/Prog&Proj/JICA/studies/water_usage/MagatRiver.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005122601/http://www.nwin.nwrb.gov.ph/Prog%26Proj/JICA/studies/water_usage/MagatRiver.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 5, 2011 |title=Magat River |publisher=National Water Information Network |accessdate=October 24, 2008 }} The project is made up of the [Magat reservoir](/source/Magat_Dam), three [diversion dam](/source/diversion_dam)s, a large number of [irrigation canal](/source/irrigation_canal)s and three [pumping station](/source/pumping_station)s to supply irrigation water for an area of about {{convert|97400|ha|km2}}. It is also includes [hydroelectric power](/source/hydroelectric_power) plants; {{convert|360|MW}} at Magat reservoir, {{convert|6,000|kW}} at Baligatan and {{convert|2,500|kW}} Magat mini-hydroelectric power plants in Maris main canal. ==See also== * [List of rivers of the Philippines](/source/List_of_rivers_of_the_Philippines) ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== * {{Commons category-inline}} Category:Rivers of the Philippines Category:Landforms of Isabela (province) Category:Landforms of Nueva Vizcaya {{Philippines-river-stub}} {{CagayanValley-geo-stub}} --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Magat River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magat_River) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magat_River?action=history)).
