It is more fun criticizing
Angono, Rizal Philippines | October 4, 2014
This portion of Marikina river near Sandoval bridge has about 20 meters of accretion at this side; it ripe for being a tumana, or titling. The river at this portion may be 30 to 40 meters wide only. No wonder there is plenty of flooding. The Marikina river used to be 100 meters wide or even more. It was like a sea before.
Most probably you wont. Let the narrow rivers and creeks take care of themselves.
But they wont take care of themselves:
Somehow, someone will:
1. Put up a house or structure illegally;
2. Have the river creek bank titled and put up a house or building legally, or worse block the waterway;
3. Use the river or creek bank to throw garbage.
Having done this, the waterway loses its capacity to drain flooded or water soaked area of rain water; and in turn causes flooding;
Look at the trash accumulated at the banks; who said people are recycling properly, managing waste properly?
That is a lot of land for taking esp if you BL friends
Now a narrow river
Narrow bridge on a narrow river; newly built condos near Rosario
More silted river bank for gardening, housing?
This is indeed now a narrow river
A heavily silted estero in Pasig near Rain Forest
Does this narrow creek contribute to flooding in Ortigas Ave?
The buildings at the left claimed part of the river?
What is the affect of flooding on you?
1. Traffic jams;
2. Delayed commuting;
3. Wasted fuel and time
4. You may even get stranded. and not be able to go home?
So would still not care? Are rivers and waterways just for the fish and environmentalists? You are not involved?
