![]() ![]() Telecommunication system which provide the means for continuous information flow for the operation of the above system.Monitoring system which will allow exchange of necessary information among the participating agencies in flood control and other related activities and.Overall supervisory system for the operation of the above system in the respective Central Offices of NPC, NIA, and PAGASA.Flood warning system with warning disseminationfacilities and supervisory control stations in dam offices.Real-time processing computer system to forecast flood water inflow to the reservoir based on the telemetered rainfall data.Real-time telemetering system consisting of the optimum number of rainfall and water level gauging stations.The complete FFWSDO has the following basic system and components: Monitoring agencies are the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Office of Civil Defense (OCD) and the National Water Resource Board (NWRB). The Agencies directly involved in the implementation of the project such as NPC and NIA are dam authorities who operate and manage the Angat and Binga/Ambuklao Dams and Pantabangan and Magat Dams respectively amd the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) through its Flood Forecasting Branch which operates the flood forecasting warning systems. Phase I, involves the establishment of a FFWS covering Angat and Pantabangan watershed areas, while Phase II, involves the establishment of a FFWS covering Magat and Binga/Ambuklao watershed areas. The Flood Forecasting and Warning system for Dam Operation (FFWSDO) aims at the establishment of telemetered flood forecasting warning system that will provide the necessary information for the safe and cost effective operation of the existing five major dams in Luzon and to forewarn the people in the flood plains downstream of these damsites of the impending release of impounded water through spillways during typhoons. The project was implemented with the National Power Corporation (NPC) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) as cooperating agencies and the Philippine, Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) as the lead agency. The major components of Phase II are the establishment of the PAGASA Data Information Center, flood forecasting and warning systems, flood forecasting and warning system at dam offices, hydrological stations, warning posts, repeater stations and monitoring stations. Was completed in July 1986, was funded under the 10th Yen Loan Package from Japan Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF).įor Phase II, implementation was started last January 1990 and was fully completed by the on set of the rainy season in 1992. Implementation of the project was done stages (Phases I and II). Angat Dam) which result to the imprecedented flood heights that caused destruction and deaths downstream of the dam. The project was meant to prevent the occurrence of similar incident (i.e. In April 1983, the Flood Forecasting and Warning System for Dam Operation (FFWSDO) project was conceived. The project was established with the financial assistance from the Government of Japan, the warning system proved effective than it led to the establishment of a similar system covering Agno, Bicol and Cagayan River Basins. Recognizing the need for operational flood forecasting and warning system to help mitigate losses of life and property brought about by annual occurrences of flooding, the Government piloted a Flood Forecasting and Warning System (FFWS) for the Pampanga River Basin in 1973.
