MAIN ISSUES ON WATER AND CLIMATE CHANGE

ADAPTATION IN PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN



INCREASING FREQUENCY FLOODING INCIDENCE

•Increasing occurrences of flood

and other water-induced disastersri er floods flash floods

landslides, mudflows, lahar/

CANALS DURING PROLONGED DRY SEASON



• Political boundaries viz-a-viz hydrological boundariesthat result to institutional problem and issues leading

• Insufficient Decision support facilities to support

• Lack of awareness and disaster preparedness of the

INITIATIVES IN THE PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN



ON-GOING/PLANNED WATER AND CLIMATE

CHANGE ADAPTATION INITIATIVES IN PAMPANGARIVER BASIN

• Goal –Enhancement of coping capacities of thepopulace from/against flood and other water-induced hazards*

1.Development of water related hazardadaptation measures, such as zoning plans

which will inte rate flood rone areas anddevelopment of a more detailed geo-hazardmaps.



2. ntegrat ng an armon z ng water an c mate

change adaptation measures in thePam an a River Basin with focus on hi hlvulnerable and high risk areas to flooding,

areas within fault lines, volcanic areas and.

* Consistent with the thrusts set under the Medium-term Philippine

Development Plan (2004-2010)



Policies

• The implementation of climate changeadaptation Framework within the Pampanga

• Integrated Water Resources Management

development of approaches

• Establishment of a monitoring, forecastingand warning system.



POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

Strategies• The concerned government agencies shall

in accordance with the framework for flood

mitigation and Climate Change adaptation.• An Integrated River Basin Management

Master plan shall be formulated for the

,mitigation and climate Change Adaptation

• Counter-measures shall be suited to local

conditions, culture and resources.



FINANCING MECHANISMS

• General Appropriations of NGAs for Flood

and Water-Related Climate Change

• Budget of Local Government Units (Main

IMPACT ASSESSMENT

• CONDUCT IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATECHANGE UNDER VARYING LEVEL OF

,IMPACT ON FLOODING AND RIVER SURGE

• FORMULATE ECONOMICALLY ANDECOLOGICALLY VIABLE OPTIONS TO ADAPT TO

OF TECHNOLOGIES, MODELS AND DECISIONSUPPORT FACILITIES



ADAPTATION STRATEGIES

• Crafting and Adoption of unified andintegrated framework for CC Adaptation;

• artners p an networ ng

• Sharing of information and technologies, and

• Policy development
