Like its counterpart Cagayan River, Iponan River had seen its share of destruction and loss when it flooded riverine barangays in 2011 (Tropical Storm Sendong/International Name: Washi). On top of the disastrous impact of the storm, barangays along the Iponan River were then subjected to the absence of utility water.The identified project aims to address the water insufficiency of Cagayan de Oro barangays along the Iponan River through a holistic approach with a Ridge-to-Reef perspective. | Pre-feasibility study status | (Sub)national | 675950 | 2015 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[124.632, 8.45423]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | |||||

The regulation allows development projects to meet a portion of stormwater retention requirement through Stormwater Retention Credits (SRC). SRC is an innovative open-market trading program where properties owners who have voluntarily installed green practices can sell credits to others. The District also incentivizes voluntarily stormwater capture practices through the RiverSmart Program which provides property owners with discounts and rebates to help defray costs of rain barrels or cisterns. DC Water is also implementing their Clean Rivers Project, which involves installation of green infrastructure and a 157 million gallon tunnel system which, when completed, will capture stormwater in our combined sewer system and will reduce the chance of flooding in the areas it serves from approximately 50 percent to 7 percent (equivalent to a 15-year storm) in any given year. | 2700000000 | Other: Water use fees are the primary funding source for the incentive programs & the Clean Rivers Projects. | https://doee.dc.gov/src https://www.dcwater.com/cleanrivers | 702455 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-77.0369, 38.9072]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | ||
