Fifth largest river system in the Philippines
At the mouth it carries 660 m³/s on average: an Olympic pool every 3.8 seconds. It drops from 1,414 m to 2 m, 6.9 m per kilometre on average. Its basin covers 5,952 km², about the size of PS. 2.4 million people live in it. Highest water: from August to September; lowest: from January to April. Its dams hold back little of its water (3.6% of a year's flow).

Agno River, month by month
Highest water: from August to September
Lowest water: from January to April. Best months to visit: from December to February.
From about 21 m³/s in the lowest month to 1,200 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
