Is it possible to make a flood prone stree flood free?

Mukhang malabo mawala baha no. One major solution lang is taasan ang kalye, pero napupunta lang sa mga bahay ang baha. So baha pa rin.

It seems wala din gaanong nangyayari kahit ayusin mga drainage, yun kasing pupuntahan ng tubig, mataas na rin ang level. Mapapabilis lang siguro ang pagbaba ng baha.

The reason I ask is, may property kasi ako na laging binabaha yung street. Nung tinambakan ko na, lalong tumaas ang baha. Before kasi a few inches lang ang baha, now more than 1ft na. I'm planning to build commercial stalls sana, pero kung bahain, baka walang magrent and masayang lang yung papagawa ko.

Mahirap kasi dyan if yung mga katabi mong propertes may gagawing infrastructures na hindi naman pabor sa plans mo. Drainage system lang talaga yung universal na kapag na-implement ng tama, lahat kayo okay.

The whole stretch of the street is classified as commercial properties, so more or less commercial stalls din ang pwedeng itayo. Sa ngayon kasi halos puro vacant lots yung one side of the street, then puro residential naman yung katapat.

Depends on the case also. For some its to develop or raise the road (but baka maafect ang lot mo if it isnt raised also). For others, its really to fix the drainage systems (box culvert maybe?), especially if the development in the area has increased to have many buildings and establishments, and ensure its also clean down the line. In some cases, its really just a matter of cleaning and desilting the waterways and drainages.

The place is already flooded 1ft to knee high already without raising the road yet. Pano pa kaya if taasan ang daan. But like I've posted, tinambakan ko na property to the point na kahit taasan pa nila ang road, mas mataas pa rin property.

Solution - build canals like this:

^ Ok sana, kaso less than a foot nga ayaw pa minsan ibigay ng mga pinoy para sa daan mismo. Canal pa kaya. Kakainis nga. Road namin na ginagawa ngayon may section na hindi kasya 2 cars. Pasaway diba.

*boybi: make sue to think about this very well. Planning way way ahead is the solution to a problem like flooding in developing areas. Kung may connection ka sa City Eng. Dept., gamitin mo to get an some more info regarding future plans in you area. Ganun din sa zoning dept ng city hall. Raise concerns ASAP.

Problema kasi sa city planning, pag iba na ang nakaupong mayor, iba na rin ang plano.

Ganito nalang, would you rent a stall in a known flood prone area? How many days lang ba nagbabaha actually? 10-20 days a year?

pag lagi binabaha, perwisyo yan. di tatagal tenants mo kasi maaapektuhan din kita nila.
grabe na nga ngayon, kaninang umaga lang baha na naman sa mandaluyong area near kalentong.

I definitely won't rent. Lalo na at the current situation that the weather seems to be worsening as the years go by.

Usually we elevate the store if we know the area is flood prone. Just need to ask local residents how high is the flood in the particular area.
