Jalaur, also known by its variant form Jalaud, seems to be a Hispanicized form of Halawod, the river which serves as the core setting of Hinilawod, an epic poem from Panay.[citation needed]
Geographyedit
The Jalaur River has an annual average discharge of 40.3 cubic metres per second (1,420 cu ft/s).[3]
The lower reached of the Jalaur River experiences seasonal flooding. When there is heavy downpour, during the months of June to September, the river overflows and floods the surrounding area. Panay island is also located within the typhoon belt, which experiences several typhoons annually, is also a major factor of flooding of the river.[8]
The Jalaur River is used in irrigating 15,519 hectares (38,350 acres) in the province of Iloilo through the Jalaur River Irrigation System.[6]
The Metro Iloilo Water District, the potable water provider for Iloilo City, sources some of its water requirement from the river.
