Flood can be abated as Marikina mayor has demonstrated

It is more fun criticizing Floods can be mitigated as former mayor of Marikina has shown

Some more suggestions:

1.  Dredge the Manggahan floodway 50% is now clogged so that floodwaters from Montalban and San Mateo cant drain fast enough to Laguna lake.  DPWH see the massive clogging of Manggahan floodway
2.  Dredge the Laguna lake to slow down the flow to Manila;  scientists say that average depth of Laguna lake now is  is 1 meter. 
     Stop reclamation As of now this post estimate that an area of about 100 hectares are reclaimed in Taguig, Taytay and Angono .  Thats about 20 million cubic maters capacity of storage for Laguna lake for floodwater storage before releasing to Manila bay.
3. Widen the creeks at subd between Markina and Cainta.  As of now they are narrow, are silted, narrow and populated by illegal settlers   Big developers like Ayala and Ortigas deepen by ten meters and widen the creek to about 20 meters to prevent flooding.  The other developers stick to the 3-4 meters creek  In Taytay, there is so much flooding due to residents who claimed the river banks.  Rivers are but 4 meters wide only
4,  More discipline in solid waste disposal so that drainage canals and waterways do not get clogged
5.  Build more underground cistern to store floodwater or Small Impounding Ponds

Floods in Rizal - Cainta, Rodriguez, Pililila, San Mateo, Marikina, Antipolo, Baras experience severe flooding

It is more fun criticizing

It was unusual that almost all the towns of Rizal were flooded:   Morong, Baras, Tanay, Teresa, Pililla, Cainta, Antipolo,  Rodriguez and  San Mateo.   These are all familiar places

All due to rains brought by Typhoon Enteng.   

Floods were severe in   Cainta, Rodriguez, San Mateo and Pililla

Thousands evacuated in Rizal: San Mateo and Cainta as floodwater rises Wednesday (July 24)

It is more fun criticizing

Majority of barangays in San Mateo were flooded, and evacuation has to be implemented.   Floodwaters reached the roofs of some houses.  Some are not accessible though.  The Mayor asked help of PNP and 
AFP.

Work and classes are suspended as of July 25, 2024.   

La Mesa dam too has breached the highest water level and floods in low lying areas in Bulacan is expected.  La Mesa dam has no floodgates.   Maybe just spillways.
