DAVAO CITY – Different approaches in addressing the flooding problem in the city were among major issues discussed during a forum initiated by the Archdiocese of Davao for congressional candidates, one suggesting the building of a dam upstream and “river walls” to block the river flow, the other saying the problem will not be addressed by constructing infrastructure that would try to control the rivers.
Flash floods are among the major problems in the city, particularly in the first district which has 54 of the city’s 182 barangays. The district, which hosts the largest voting population at 355,052 out of the city’s 992,538, includes the downtown area. “It’s raining, after a few hours, there will be flood. Based on my visit to flood prone areas, the main problem is the river, it’s overflowing. I personally visited the area. That’s why, even though we have canals especially when the rain is strong, it will overflow. The solution is we need to make a river wall, we need to block riverside,” he said.For Maglana, the perennial problem of floods here will not be addressed by constructing infrastructure trying to control the rivers.
“We treat our water systems as if we can just dump garbage at any time we want and dispose chemicals there at any time,” she said.
