The Quezon City Government partners with the University of the Philippines – Resilience Institute in developing a Drainage Master Plan (DMP) for the city. The project seeks to develop and select the best solutions, such as physical modifications and upgrades, necessary for drainage and flood management improvements.
The DMP covers all of the City’s 142 barangays and integrates all 44 tributaries and 5 major river systems that pass through the city’s jurisdiction with the man-made drainage systems built by the various government agencies involved with drainage and roadworks.
As part of the city’s efforts for flood mitigation, the City Engineering Department (QCED) also strengthens its dredging and clearing operations.
As of July 2025, more than 150 flood mitigation projects have been completed, including detention basins, flood interceptors, stormwater storage panel systems, and slope protection works.
To know more about the Drainage Masterplan, kindly reach out to the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO) or check out the Drainage Master Plan – Quezon City Government under About QC: QC Profile.
