Bustos Dam now on regular release of irrigation water

Ramon Efren R. Lazaro

CITY OF MALOLOS -- Bustos Dam is now conducting its regular release of irrigation water to Bulacan and some parts of Pampanga's irrigated ricelands.

This was confirmed to TUGON Balita by Josephine Salazar, Central Luzon director of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) that manages the said dam.

She said Bustos Dam has now also stopped spilling water on its downstream river system since Angat and Ipo Dams have also stopped its water spilling operations.

On the other hand, Erique Carlos, NIA's Bulacan irrigation management office manager said that Bustos Dam has stopped its water overflow on Monday ( December 8) and said the dam's Rubber Gates 1, 2, 4 and 6 are still deflated since its six rubber gates are under maintenance.

He added that the dam has stopped its water overflow since its upstream water flow has already subsided significantly and the dam has started its irrigation delivery to its South Zone service areas.

On the other hand records from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office of Bulacan showed that Bustos Dam started its water overflow on its downstream river system in June this year.

Manuel Lukban Jr., PDRRMO officer of Bulacan said the dam operator has deflated the dam's Rubber Gates 1,2, 4 and 6 right after Rubber Gate 3 was damaged early this year.

"Nagdeflate sila kasi wala rin magiging silbi kung nakainflate dahil lalabas lang ang tubig sa Rubber Gate 3. Ang mangyayari kung nakainflate masisira lang dahil bilad sa araw ng nakainflate, lulutong lang lalo. Kaya habang may sirang isang rubber gate mas better na ideflate na lang lahat," Lukban added.

SMC resumes river clean-up operations in Bulacan

Ramon Efren R. Lazaro

CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan -- San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has announced it is resuming its river clean-up operations in the coastal areas of Manila Bay in Bulacan.

The company cited that it completed removing over 4.15 million metric tons of flood-causing silt and waste from 74 kilometers of river system in Bulacan from October 2022 to September 2024 at no cost to government and with no commercial benefit to the company.

This time, SMC reported that it is undertaking maintenance cleanups of major rivers draining out to Manila Bay that surround the country’s future largest and most modern international gateway located in Bulakan town.

SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon Ang has noted that regular maintenance cleanups of these rivers are needed to ensure that gains made through the company’s years-long flood mitigation efforts — primarily, the increased flood-carrying capacities and improved flow of these rivers — are preserved.

“Rivers that surround the New Manila International Airport project have a vital function — to drain waters from eastern Bulacan rivers, out to Manila Bay. That is why it’s critical that we continuously clean them, and even deepen and expand where needed, to ensure better flood protection and mitigation, not just for the airport, but for eastern Bulacan municipalities in the Bulacan sub-river basin,” Ang said.
