feature, the province has three identifiable geographical areas, namely: the coastal areas
of Hagonoy, Malolos, Paombong, Obando and Bulacan, the flatlands or central section
which is composed of Balagtas, Baliuagm Bocaue, Bustos, Calumpit, Guiguinto,
Marilao, Meycauayan, Pandi, Plaridel, Pulilan and Sta. Maria and the upland areas of

Rivers which are big enough to provide economic opportunieies to the province. The
Angat Dam serves a greater portion of the water supply needs of Metro Manila and
Cavite City through the MWSS. In 1988, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by
the MWSS and the province of Bulacan, which includes the towns of Meycauayan and

Fresh water coming from inland rivers diverges into several tributaries before flowing
into the Manila Bay.
