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

Bagsak presyo ng bangus dahil sa pagtakas sa fishpen dahil sa Kristine

It is more fun criticizing

Yong maliliit ay P15/kg, and P50.00  Many fishpen owners lost money....  I guess the cheap bangus sale was over yesterday. 

Others in the know say that bangus know how to come back to their cages even in a typhoon.  They suggest that seamen took the bangus from their cages..

More pictures of flooded areas; flood waters not moving

Social and political criticisms

                                    This is just 500 meters from where I live;  no ants here

These are additional pictures of flooded areas.  It will take several months for the flood from Laguna lake to subside.

I watched last night Nat Geo feature on  disaster.  The most devastating and most widespread destruction coming form powerful hydraulic forces is from flood.  Many deaths are attributed to floods too.
