Water sensors vs flooding to be installed in Oro River
Friday, December 23, 2011
IN THE light of the disaster that struck Northern Mindanao, the government on Friday has allotted P150 million for the installation of 1,000 automatic water level sensors nationwide to aid forecasters in tracking river water levels and potential flood indicators.
Water sensors will be placed in 18 river basins nationwide and priority will be given to areas ravaged by Tropical Storm Sendong (international name: Washi) last week.
To be spearheaded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), water sensors will be installed beginning next year in the following areas: Cagayan de Oro River (two sensors upstream, 1 downstream), Iponan River, Cagayan de Oro-Iligan, Misamis Oriental (one sensor), and Iligan City (one sensor upstream, one sensor downstream).
“We are working toward innovating the country’s weather facilities to preserve the safety and well-being of all Filipinos, and also to minimize the social, economic, and environmental damage wrought by natural calamities,” Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said.
Data from the DOST show that only four rivers in the Philippines have been installed with water level sensors since 1980.
Sendong brought heavy rainfall to Northeastern Mindanao recently, triggering massive flashfloods that killed nearly 1,100 people.
Power has yet to be restored in all affected provinces but the main concern is the poor sanitation in evacuation centers especially in badly-hit Cagayan de Oro City, where renovation of busted water pipes will take at least a month.
Meantime, the DBM has released another P150 million for the purchase of three Doppler radars to boost national weather monitoring, accurate forecasting, and early flood warning by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
The Doppler radars will be installed in Antique, Palawan, and the Zamboanga Peninsula.
With the help of high-precision Doppler radars, Pagasa had said it can provide the expected rainfall for a certain province or city as long as it is within the 450-kilometer range of the instrument.
It can also detect a possible occurrence of thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Currently, the five Doppler radars in the country can be found in Baguio City, Subic (Zambales), Tagaytay City, Baler (Aurora), and Hinatuan (Surigao del Sur).
The equipment that will be set up in the western parts of the country is expected to complete the country’s real-time coverage of weather and climate trends. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
