Do narrow creeks and rivers affect your daily lives? Are they relevant to you/

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.

By building wide and deep creeks.  For other subdivisions, what did they do?

l.  They grabbed lands from the creeks;

2.  They sold the creeks.
