Padsan River

The Padsan River, also called as Laoag River or Sarrat River is the largest river in Ilocos Norte in the island of Luzon in the Philippines. With a total length of 73.1 kilometres (45.4 mi) and a drainage basin of 1,320 km2 (510 sq mi). It is notable because its main channel bisects[1] the central townships of the Municipalities of Dingras[2] and Sarrat,[3] as well as that of the Component City of Laoag, which is the capital of Ilocos Norte.[4]

As a result, its waters have shaped the history and culture of these historic towns, and of the province of Ilocos Norte.[5] It is the site of the Madongan Dam [6] in Dingras, and is right beside the Laoag International Airport in Laoag.[7]
