- Flooding is a natural event that replenishes the groundwater and revitalizes the soil through the deposit of sediments. However, when communities settle within floodplains, flooding can cause adverse social, economic and environmental impacts. Flood protection works, such as dikes, can further reduce flood risk. These structures particularly relevant in protecting historic communities that were settled before floodplain management policies were implemented. However, it is technically and economically impossible to completely eliminate flood risk with dikes. During severe floods, dike failures may occur due to erosion, overtopping or seepage. This study predicts that dike construction may lead to water level lowering for in-bank flows and to water level increases for out-of-bank (flood) flows. This confirms that, in principle, the existing Pampanga dike and specifically on the construction of Taguig City dike along the Laguna Lake may have contributed to the observed flood water level trends in the Metro Manila.
