Giant Wall of Marikina River Update

Giant Wall of Marikina River

This is the latest update on the giant Fkoodwall along Marikina River near Sm Marikina.Dredging on the river is also ongoing.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) began this week the fourth phase of the Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project to mitigate extreme flooding in Metro Manila.A massive flood wall that will be built along the riverbanks.

JICA has assisted river channel improvement in the Pasig-Marikina River since 2000. The fourth phase will implement structures such as revetments, flood walls, and movable weirs that will help adjust and regulate the flow of the flood waters.

The gate structures that will be built under the project will help protect low-lying areas in Cainta and Taytay from backflow flooding.

In addition to structural measures, the project also includes soft measures such as Information Campaign and Publicity, by ensuring efficient and effective information dissemination in various forms of media for smooth coordination and implementation of the project. There is also the preparation of flood hazard map which is necessary for the promotion of flood evacuation activities by providing essential data to support the LGUs in formulating action plans concerning disaster risk reduction.

Flood control experts from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) conducted an on-site inspection of proposed flood control infrastructures in the Middle and Upper Marikina River Basin.

These projects include the construction of modern dikes and ripraps at the Marikina River, which is also being widened to avert flooding in communities nearby. Water pumping stations are also being constructed along creeks and Marikina River.

Create water basin bawat city .., then convert to clean water

Complicated ang geography ng Marikina. Kung tutuusin hindi talaga dapat tinitirahan iyan ng maraming tao kasi, geographically, "catch basin" siya. Ang buong ancient Metro Manila is a kind of marsh land. Ung Quezon City lang talaga ung bato ung ilalim ng lupa, the reason why Marcos Sr. built most of the government offices and hospitals na nakapaligid sa Quezon Memorial Circle. But industrial progress and population expolosion can't be avoided hanggang sa binalewala nalang ung geographical make-up ng buong NCR ng mga sakim na tao para kumita at makakulimbat lang ng malaki g salapi. Kaya ngayon ang nagdudusa mga mamamayan. Kahit ano pang itayo na mga floodwall at dike, lulubog at lulubog ang maraming bayan sa buong Kamaynilaan.

Wala ring silbi kung mas mababa pa sa baha yang tinatayong wall. Masasayang lang binudget para diyan kung bitin din lang. Dapat makatotohanan naman. umaabot tayo minsan ng 20mtrs, tapos napakababa ng ginagawa. Wag tipirin at bilisan naman sana.

Mas mababawasan ang baha sa marikina kung ititigil yung minahan sa Rizal Province.
