The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said on Thursday that it completed a flood control project in Sampaloc, Manila. READ:
The department “recently completed the rehabilitation of drainage structure along E. Quintos Street in Sampaloc, Manila,” it said in a statement.
“The improvement of drainage system utilized a series of 2.40 by 1.80 meter of reinforced concrete box culverts that will significantly increase the capacity of Josefina-Lepanto and Lepanto-Gov. Forbes Drainage Mains to ensure smooth drain and flow of floodwaters in the event of heavy rainfall,” the department said.
Many areas in Metro Manila are low-lying and designated flood prone, with insufficient protection against frequent inundation, while natural drainage is often restricted during rainfall events by high river and sea water levels, according to the World Bank. In the DPWH’s flood management master plan for the Greater Metro Manila area, among the considered measures was the application of rainwater catchment system that will enable some communities to store rainwater for reuse instead of allowing it to run off into a waterway.
