DPWH meeting/June 21, 2021/3PM/Zoom:

Program title: Establishment of Smart Water Infrastructure and Management Center

Project 2: Integrated assessment and analysis of hydraulic assets for sustainable and
resilient flood control infrastructure
Cooperating Agencies:
Isabela State University
Quirino State University
Department of Public Works & Highways
Department of Environment & Natural Resources
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration –
DOST
National Mapping Resource Information Authority
Department of Agriculture

Agenda:
1. Brief overview of SWIM/Project2

R&D Priority area: Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation
Sector: Construction and water
Period of implementation: 3 years
Objectives:

Generally, this study will utilize integrated assessment and analysis reports for flood control
infrastructure using smart flood monitoring, remediation and mitigation within the Cagayan river
basin.

Specifically, it aims to:

To conduct inventory of all existing flood-related initiatives, programs/projects of
different agencies;
To develop science-driven decision support platform for flood information and risk
management; and
To design, improve and implement resilient flood control infrastructures.

Proj2 will use different softwares (GEoSlope, TELEMAC, MIKE+, TUFLOW)

2. Role of DPWH:
a. Adopt design innovations for flood control infrastructures;
b. Provide budget (P 10M) for the construction of flood control infrastructures (from GAA:
See letter of commitment) – year 3
c. Identify focal person to be part of the project (Project staff Level 2 (P6,000.00/month)
d. Others:
i. Geo-5 vs GeoSlope
ii. Civil 3D applications

3. Performance assessment of flood control infrastructures (from DPWH)/standard assessment
