A glimpse of Manggahan Floodway

The Manggahan Floodway is an artificially constructed waterway in Metro Manila, the

Philippines. The floodway was built in 1986 [1] in order to reduce the flooding along the
Pasig i!er during the rainy season, by di!erting the pea" water flows of the Mari"ina
i!er to the #aguna de $ay which ser!es as a te%porary reser!oir.[&] 'n case the water
le!el on the la"e is higher than the Mari"ina i!er, the floodway can also re!erse the
flow.
$y design, the Manggahan (loodway is capable of handling &,)** cubic %eters per
second of water flow, although the actual flow is about &,*** cubic %eters per second. To
co%ple%ent the floodway, the +apindan ,ydraulic -ontrol .yste% /+,-.0 was built in
1981 at the confluence of the Mari"ina i!er and the +apindan -hannel of the Pasig
i!er to regulate the tidal flow of saline water between Manila $ay and the la"e, and to
pre!ent the intrusion of polluted water into the la"e.[&]
