DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN METRO MANILA

Composed of 897 kilometers of drainage laterals,59 kilometers of drainage mains and interceptors,and 659 kilometers of open waterwayscomposed of esteros/creeks and rivers.

Any hindrance within the network of drainagesystems may cause the disruption in the flow ofwater when not properly addressed and will

eventually result to flooding.



ESTEROS IN METRO MANILA

Majority of the esteros are located in the city ofManila.

These discharge into the Pasig River or directly toManila Bay.

The easement of most esteros are encroached by

informal settlers. In severe cases, the informalsettlers are along the watercourse itself therebyleaving no space for water to flow.
