The areas surrounding the falls (at eastern side) have been occupied by immigrants from Kalamlamahan of Barangay Rogongon of Iligan City since 1995, together with other hegaonon tribes from the nearby barangays or sitios.. The lands at the west side (downstream of the waterfall) are owned and claimed by the heirs of Alamada and the lands on the upper stream are claimed by Abungan heirs.

So far, the current or flow of this river is gradually decreasing due to the operations of the logging concessionaires in the area since 1950s, and the illegal loggers (log-ins) operating to date. The primary and secondary trees near the bank of the river were extracted by the loggers. The tertiary trees are destroyed. The ECC issued by the DENR did not implemented. There were no reforestation program implemented to replace the extracted and destroyed trees.
