Taguig Sub-Basin Geographic Location The Taguig Sub-basin located in the northwestern part of the Laguna de Bay spread over the cities of Makati, Pasig, and Taguig and the municipalities of Angono, Pateros, and Taytay. The total area of the sub-basin is about 4,596.741hectares, a big part of which (48.74%) is within the territorial jurisdiction of Taguig City followed by the City of Pasig at 26.77%. The coordinates of the sub- basin is shown in Table 24-1 while the satellite image is illustrated in Figure 24-1. However, Makati City is not within the territorial jurisdiction of LLDA.

Almost the entire sub-basin (84%) is classified as urban or highly built-up area such as residential, commercial and industrial use (Figure 24-3). The arable areas are mostly found in Taguig City (parts of Barangays Hagonoy, Bambang, Ususan, Calzada, LigidTipas, Palingon, Sta. Ana, Napindan, and Fort Bonifacio), Pateros (parts of Barangays San Roque and Santa Ana. Most of the grasslands are found in parts of Barangays Hagonoy, Wawa, Palingon, Napindan, and Ibayo-Tipas in Taguig City.

The SAC SMA accounts for all water entering, stored in, and leaving a drainage basin. Though many parameters are used in this water balance accounting process, precipitation has the main impact on runoff. The 15-year rainfall data simulation shows that on the average, 56.8% of total rainfall goes to direct run off, while 31% is lost to evapotranspiration. (Figure 24-9).

Historically, the river was used to be a good route for transportation and an important source of water for the old Spanish Manila. However, the river is now very polluted due to human negligence and industrial development, and biologists consider it unable to sustain aquatic life. Many researchers have conducted studies on the Pasig River, unfortunately, no considerable progress from the point of view of purification process have succeeded. Hence, in this study, the use of fine-bubble technology for the purification of the polluted sludge from the said river is being explored. The critical point in using this technique is on the activation of the bacteria existing in the area using fine bubbles. The sludge is decomposed and purified by activating the aerobic bacteria after creating an aerobic state.

    SIXTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) First Regular Session ) '13 JUL{'ll p·1:36 SENATE SENATE BILL NO. 1096 INTRODUCED BY SENATOR JOSEPH VICTOR G. EJERCITO EXPLANATORY NOTE Mter more than four (4) decades since the enactment of Republic Act No. 4850 entitled "An Act Creating the Laguna Lake Development Authority, Prescribing its Powers, Functions and Duties, Providing Funds Therefor and for Other Purposes" in 1966, there is a need to amend and strengthen this law to make it more responsive and effective in view of the social, economic and political development in the country. Laguna de Bay is one of the important water resources in the country. It is our largest inland body of water that covers 14 cities and 17 municipalities located within the Provinces of Laguna and Rizal and parts of Batangas, Cavite, Quezon and Metro Manila. There are about 28,000 fisher folk families that depend on it for livelihood. The water resources of the lake and its tributary rivers are used for irrigation, power generation, recreation, domestic water supply and navigation, among others. However, the protection and conservation of Laguna de Bay is greatly affected by unrestrained population growth, deforestation, land conversion, extractive fisheries and rapid urbanization. These factors have led to problems relating to solid waste management, sanitation and public health, congestion of shore land areas, rapid siltation and sedimentation, unmitigated input of domestic, agricultural and industrial wastes, flooding and loss of biodiversity and water quality This bill seeks to strengthen the policy-making and regulatory powers of the LLDA to realize its vision of a self-sufficient and highly dynamic integrated water resource management authority, with competent and profeSSional personnel who take the lead towards the sustainable development of Laguna de Bay.

    Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The Philippines, through RBCO-DENR had defined 20 major river basins spread all over the country. These basins are defined as major because of their importance, serving as lifeblood and driver of the economy of communities inside and outside the basins. One of these river basins is the Marikina River Basin (Figure 1). Figure 1 Marikina River Basin Map 1 | P a g e Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Marikina River Basin is currently not in its best of condition. Just like other river basins of the Philippines, MRB is faced with problems. These include: a) rapid urban development and rapid increase in population and the consequent excessive and indiscriminate discharge of pollutants and wastes which are; b) Improper land use management and increase in conflicts over land uses and allocation; c) Rapidly depleting water resources and consequent conflicts over water use and allocation; and e) lack of capacity and resources of stakeholders and responsible organizations to pursue appropriate developmental solutions. The consequence of the confluence of the above problems is the decline in the ability of the river basin to provide the goods and services it should ideally provide if it were in desirable state or condition. This is further specifically manifested in its lack of ability to provide the service of preventing or reducing floods in the lower catchments of the basin. There is rising trend in occurrence of floods, water pollution and water induced disasters within and in the lower catchments of the basin.

    Impact of Climate Change on the Frequency and Severity of Floods in the Pasig-Marikina River Basin

This study assessed impacts of climate change on the frequency and severity of floods in the Pasig-Marikina River basin. Researchers used the historical data from PAG-ASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration), specifically from Science Garden weather station. The historical data are coupled with a global climate model, the Hadley Center Model version 3 (HadCM3) to account for the natural variability of the climate system in the area. The observed data and the hydroclimatic data from HadCM3 was processed in Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) that results to rainfall data from 1961-2017 and change in temperature data from 2018-2048. A rainfall time series for the river basin was generated considering average seasonal effects in the area. A flood frequency curve was modelled. From that, flood value for 2048 was derived to be at 3950cu.m/s. Additionally, the rapid urbanization in the area has contributed to the changes in the river system making it more vulnerable to floods. The results of this study supports the claim that the Pasig-Marikina River basin will be affected by the climate variability in terms of the increase in rainfall depth and average temperatures, higher flood frequency and more massive floods in the future.
