Dumalo rin dito sina DPWH UPMO Flood Control Management Cluster (FCMC) Project Director Ramon A. Ariola III; UPMO Project Directors Benjamin A. Bautista and Rodrigo I. Delos Reyes; at Project Manager Aurelio C. Mendoza.
Ayon kay DPWH Sec. Villar, “The project will help address flooding woes in low-lying areas affected by the confluence of Imus River and Bacoor River.”
Matatagpuan ito sa Brgy. Anabu sa Imus na may lawak na 35 ektarya at sa Brgy. Buhay na Tubig sa Bacoor na may laki na siyam na ektarya.
“When water level increases during flooding, the floodwater overflows into the retarding basins and will be discharge once the water level in Imus and Bacoor River subsides or at normal rate,” ayon sa Facebook post ng DPWH.
“These constructed retarding basins will temporarily store most, if not all, of the rainwater run-off during very high rainfall to reduce the peak volume of flood flow and later release at regulated rate,” ayon naman sa pahayag ni DPWH Usec Sadain sa inilabas na statement sa Facebook page ng ahensya.
Samantala, ang naturang proyekto ay pinondohan ng JICA sa ilalim ng kanilang official development assistance at isinagawa ng DPWH-Unified Project Management Operations Office.
