Josef Webinar 4

The speaker discussed the 2020 Marikina and Cagayan flooding in the Philippines. He explained that the flooding was caused by a decrease in flood-mitigating trees due to quarrying, which led to more runoff accumulating in local rivers. The flooding was exacerbated by the fact that Marikina and Cagayan are valley areas surrounded by mountains, making them catch basins for runoff. The speaker suggested reforestation to reduce future flood levels in the rivers.

Webinar: ICE Exxplains: The 2020 Marikina and Cagayan Flooding

Speaker: Dr. Guillermo Q. Tabios III, Professor Emeritus, UP Institute of Civil Engineering
I have learned information on the recent Marikina and Cagayan Flooding. There was a

direct relationship with the decrease of natural flood mitigating trees due to quarrying and the

amount of runoff that accumulated in the rivers of Marikina and Cagayan. Furthermore, these

areas are valleys meaning are enveloped in mountain ranges which makes them the catch basins

for the runoff from the precipitation in mountains. The speaker suggested that reforestation
must be done to reduce the accumulation of flood water in these rivers which has a limit or

boundary before overflow.
