River Basin Master Plan
Water Convergence

River Basin Master Plan (Paradigm

shift from piece meal to river basin
approach)
Construction

of infrastructures for flood control

consistent with the integrated water resource
management (IWRM) principles and through a river
basin approach
Nationwide Flood Risk Assessment Study 2008 screened
rivers based on natural and socio-economic conditions
and listed priority river basins
MP and FS of prioritized major and principal river basins
are being undertaken (12 river basins completed; 8 river
basins for procurement of consultants; 5 river
basins/areas undertaken thru in-house staff/consultants)
MP/FS for 6 cities/areas for drainage projects

River Basin Master Plan

MP/FS in coordination with other agencies (DENR,

OCD, DOST-PAGASA, LGUs, etc)

MP/FS for a target safety level (e.g., 25 yr flood)
Consideration
of potential climate change
impacts
(projection
of
rainfall
intensity,
discharge, sea level rise)
Integration of non-structural measures like land
use regulation, hazard mapping, forecasting and
warning system, solid waste management, etc.

Water Convergence
Strategy

to
coordinate
and
synchronize
implementation of flood control, small water
impounding projects (SWIPs) and watershed
protection/management projects
for more
effective use of resources and for flood
management

Collaboration with DENR, DA-NIA/BSWM, DAR

Started in 2011; flood control projects and SWIPs in

prioritized areas funded and on-going

2012 list being coordinated with the DA and DENR

Water Convergence
Implementation Guidelines:
DA and DENR submit priority areas for projects
DPWH

identifies flood control and small water

impounding projects in the above priority areas
In case of small water impounding projects, detailed
survey and detailed engineering is coordinated by
DPWH with the DA-BSWM/NIA and LGUs
DPWH prepares program of works
DPWH secures budget for project implementation
DPWH
procures
civil
works
contractor
and
supervises/monitors construction
