As Project e-SMART came to a close, we conducted a 7-day workshop series to train our partners on hydrologic, hydrodynamic, and water quality analysis and modeling. The e-SMART Academy was participated by technical personnel from the Manila Bay Coordinating Office (MBCO) and the Laguna Lake Development Authority (Official) (LLDA), held at the LLDA Building from May 31 to June 13, 2022. This program aimed to equip the stakeholders with the skills needed to operate, maintain, and update the modeling tools and to be able to use them for scenario simulations and decision support.

Samahan niyo kami sa pagbaliktanaw sa aming dalawang taong paglalakakbay sa Manila Bay. Sa aming pagtatahi ng kwento ng kalagayan ng Manila Bay, ano-ano nga ba ang aming natuklasan? Paano magagamit ang aming mga napag-alaman sa pagpapabuti ng ating kapaligiran? Bilang mga responsableng residente ng Manila Bay Watershed, paano naman tayo makakatulong sa pag-monitor at pagpapangalaga ng ating kapaligiran? Ano-ano ang mga pwede nating gamitin para magampanan ang ating katungkulan bilang mga tagapangalaga ng kalikasan? 🤔

Alamin natin ang lahat ng ito sa aming project-end webinar na gaganapin sa March 30, Miyerkules, 1:30 to 4:00 PM. Maaari ninyo kaming samahan sa Zoom. Magregister lamang sa link na ito: 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲𝐮𝐫𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦/𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐.

Live ding mapapanood ang webinar dito sa aming page. Kitakits!

Hi Smarties!

Today we celebrate World Water Day again to raise awareness about the importance of freshwater. This event has been celebrated annualy ever since 1993 to counter the global water crisis, as we know that freshwater is a finite resource. May we all be reminded to conserve water and protect our freshwater sources. Happy World Water Day Smarties!

'Sup, Smarties! Back in 2008, the Supreme Court ordered for the clean up of Manila Bay in response to its apparent degradation. In this post, we'll look at some of the water quality characteristics of the Bay and see how it is affected by pollution. Read more in each photo's caption.💡

Hi Smarties,
Celebrating its second anniversary, Project e-SMART would like to thank all of you for your continued support for each of our posts. Over the past two years, we have shared information on the Manila Bay’s hydrology, hydrodynamics, water quality, along with other fun facts about the bay and its watershed. We also want to express our sincerest gratitude to the government agencies that helped make the Project and its accomplishments possible, to IM4ManilaBay Program, to each of Project e-SMART’s staff, and of course to our very own Project Leader, Dr. Eugene C. Herrera for guiding us all the way. We would like you to join us in the next remaining few months as we share more information about Manila Bay! Thank you and Happy Two Years, Smarties!

'Sup, Smarties! Imagine that all planned coastal reclamation and development in Manila Bay gets completed. How do you think would it affect the Bay's hydrodynamics? Here's our analysis on that scenario. Read the discussion in each photo's caption. 🤓

Sup Smarties?!
Once again, the members of Project e-SMART, together with our very own Project Leader Dr. Eugene C. Herrera, attended a platform where they can share their studies. The 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗘) was organized by the AUN-SEED-Net Program, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the UP Diliman Environmental Engineering Program and was held virtually last January 17-18, 2022.
We would also like to congratulate specifically our Project Leader, Dr. Herrera for bagging the Best Paper Award during the conference. We thank the organizers for the great opportunity and to all participants who bravely attended and answered the questions about their studies which can be used to help solve the environmental problems in our society.

'Sup, Smarties! In today's episode, we'll talk about this guy 💩 and how a lot of them pollute the Manila Bay. F***l coliform is one of the main parameters that determine whether a water body is safe for swimming. You could read more about our research findings in each photo's caption.💡

'Sup, Smarties! What would it be like without the two biggest dams in Pampanga River Basin? We thought it would be interesting to see how the changes in river flows affect Manila Bay. Curious? Learn more in each photo's caption! 🤓
