Water courses that may likely be affected in Caraga include rivers in Surigao del Sur and its tributaries, including Cantilan, Carac-an, Tandag, Tago, Hubo-Oteiza, Hinatuan, and Bislig; rivers in Agusan del Norte and its tributaries, particularly Lake-Mainit-Tubay, Asiga, Agusan, Linugos and Cabadbaran; and rivers in Agusan del Sur and its tributaries, including Ojot, Wawa, Libang, Maosam, Kasilan, Gibong, Adgaoan, Simulao, Kayonan, and Andanan.
