Using the case of Japan's Sumida River improvement through the installation of Super Levee as an example, this presentation highlights the gains achieved from the rehabilitation of Estero de Paco in the Philippines.

This presentation shares a list of sequentially-arranged activities targeting rehabilitation of the four river systems of Pateros City in the Philippines. The possibility of holding a series of consultation meetings among stakeholders is identified as a necessary step in the development of a work plan.

This presentation features Estero Blitz, a rehabilitation initiative of Pasig River and tributaries by the Metro Manila Development Authority in the Philippines. The objectives of the initiative, including challenges and way forward, are discussed.

River forms a very important component of a city’s growth; however there is no way of accurately measuring the total value of bringing it back to life. While rehabilitation and restoration of Manila’s Pasig River have come a very long way, a lot of work still remains.

Manila's Pasig River continues to play an important social, cultural, historical, and political role. Its restoration, which began with the Pasig River Rehabilitation Program in 1989, aims to reverse the effects of years of negligence, uncontrolled development, and unabated pollution.
