'''Marikina River''' (Tagalog: '''''Ilog Marikina''''') is a river in eastern [[Metro Manila]], [[Philippines]]. It is a [[tributary]] of [[Pasig River]] with [[headwater]]s located in the [[Sierra Madre (Philippines)|Sierra Madre Mountains]] in [[Rodriguez, Rizal|Rodriguez]], [[Rizal]] province.

Marikina River used to be an important transport route during the [[History of the Philippines (1521-1898)|Spanish colonial era]], but its importance as a transport route diminished when the Philippines' national highway system became more established. The resulting lack of river boat traffic and the deforestation of the upland areas in what is now the [[Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape]] contributed to the river's siltation, further reducing its value as a transport route.<ref name="ScottBarangay">{{cite book

Due to negligence and industrial development, the river has become very polluted, an act which recent Marikina City administrations have attempted to address.

==The Marikina River system==
[[File:Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape Tributary below Wawa Dam.jpg|thumb|Upper Marikina River in [[Rodriguez, Rizal]]]]
In [[Barangay|Brgy.]] Wawa in Rodriguez, the Marikina River is dammed by [[Wawa Dam]], a structure built during the early 1900s to provide water for Manila.<ref>[http://greenarmynetwork.net/files/docs/watersheds-supporting-irrigation-systems.pdf "Final List of Watersheds Supporting 140 River Irrigation System of the NIA"], pg. 5. Green Army Network. Retrieved on 2012-08-15.</ref> From Rodriguez, the river flows through [[San Mateo, Rizal|San Mateo]] then to its namesake city of [[Marikina]]. In [[Pasig|Pasig City]], the river meets the gates of the [[Manggahan Floodway]], a controlled waterway used to prevent flooding in Manila during heavy rains by diverting most of the water of the Marikina towards [[Laguna de bay]] instead of Pasig River. Located {{convert|6.75|km}} downstream is the [[confluence]] of Marikina and Pasig Rivers.<ref>[https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Manggahan+Floodway,+Cainta,+Metro+Manila,+Philippines&hl=en&ll=14.58458,121.103325&spn=0.117454,0.127544&sll=14.584082,121.091566&sspn=0.058727,0.063772&oq=Manggahan+Floodway&hnear=Manggahan+Floodway&t=m&z=13 "Manggahan Floodway"]. Google Maps. Retrieved on 2012-08-15.</ref>

The river's depth ranges from 3–21 meters and spans from 70–120 meters. It has a total area of nearly 75.2 hectares and is 27 kilometers long.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Badilla|first1=Roy|title=Flood Modelling in Pasig-River Basin|url=http://www.itc.nl/library/papers_2008/msc/wrem/badilla.pdf}}</ref> The riverbank has an elevation of 8 meters above sea level at the boundary of San Mateo and Marikina. This slowly goes down at an elevation of 4 meters nearly before the Malanday and Santo Niño boundary. The lowest elevation is along [[Calumpang, Marikina|Calumpang]] which 2 meters above sea level.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}}

===Tributary Waterways===
The Marikina River has a number of tributaries in the form of creeks and rivers, and at least one former river-section in Marikina's Barangay Tumana from which the original flow of the river has been diverted. These tributaries drain four municipalities and one city in the Province of Rizal, and three cities in the Philippines' National Capital Region.<ref name="NIGS">{{cite web |first=CP|last=David|title= Reconstructing the Tropical Storm Ketsana flood event in Marikina River, Philippines|url= https://www.academia.edu/858560/Reconstructing_the_Tropical_Storm_Ketsana_flood_event_in_Marikina_River_Philippines|accessdate=August 28, 2013}}</ref>

====Rodriguez, Rizal====
The biggest of these tributaries are upstream in the more mountainous areas of Rodriguez. This includes the Tayabasan and Montalban rivers, the Boso Boso River, and the Wawa River, which meets the Marikina River just upstream of [[Wawa Dam]]. Further downstream from the dam, but still in the town of Rodriguez are the Puray river (which flows near [[Avilon Zoo]]), and the Manga river.<ref name="NIGS"/>

====Barangka====
Up till this point the river follows a more or less East-West direction until San Jose, Rodriguez, where it takes a sharp North-South turn towards the Municipality of San Mateo, where the Ampid River forms the boundary between Barangays Maly and Ampid. At this point across the River in Quezon City, Calamiong Creek drains Barangay Bagong Silang.<ref name="calamiong">{{cite web |title = QC to Relocate More ISF's Away from Danger Zones|url = http://www.quezoncity.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=409:qc-to-relocate-more-isfs-away-from-danger-zones&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=362|accessdate=August 28, 2013}}</ref> Further downstream the Nangka River and its own tributary in the Sapang Labo Creek mark the Boundary between San Mateo and Marikina.<ref name="NIGS"/><ref name="nangka">{{cite web |title = DENR orders Marikina, MMDA to remove trash from Nangka River|url = http://www.philstar.com:8080/metro/521371/denr-orders-marikina-mmda-remove-trash-nangka-river|accessdate=August 28, 2013}}</ref>

====City of Marikina====
Somewhere north of Brgy Tumana in Marikina marks a point at which an American Colonial Era levee shifted the flow of Marikina River west, away from the population center of Sitio Bayanbayanan (Now known as Concepcion Uno), where erosion had been a problem. The construction of a levee left behind a remnant waterway now known as Patay na Ilog (literally "Dead River", referring to the former path of the river) where the original path of the river once traversed, which rejoins the Marikina River just south of Tumana Bridge. The dredging for this American era levee left behind a large stone outcropping just below water level where the Marikina's children would play, back when the water was still clean, such that this part of the river is still called "luksong kabayo".<ref name=knowyourbarangay>{{cite web|url=http://www.marikina.gov.ph/residentpages/knowyourbarangay.asp |title=Know Your Barangay |publisher=Marikina.gov.ph |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110918204642/http://www.marikina.gov.ph/residentpages/knowyourbarangay.asp |archivedate=September 18, 2011 }}</ref>

The name of Barangay Tumana refers to the [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] word for a wide level land just above water level. The area was considered ideal for vegetable farming due to the rich riversoil, and the annual inundation of the area by the Marikina River during rainy season, which prevented crawling insect pests from staying permanently. This area was eventually also used for riversoil quarrying and saw an influx of informal settlers which turned it into a residential area, eventually becoming a separate Barangay from Concepcion, with Patay na Ilog forming part of the boundary.<ref name="NIGS"/><ref name = knowyourbarangay />

Further south on the Quezon City side Barangay Pansol is drained by Pansol Creek, with headwaters reaching as far up to just behind the [[University of the Philippines Integrated School]] Campus. Even Further South in Barangay Malanday, Marikina, the Lamuan-Bulelak creek also empties into the Marikina River, although its precise mouth area has been blurred by the construction of residential buildings.

====Adjacent Creeks====
In Marikina city, numerous other creeks flow nearby the Marikina river but are not directly connected. These include the Bankaan Creek in Barangay Parang, the Concepcion Creek in Barangay Concepcion Dos, and the Usiw Creek in Barangay Sta Elena. Instead, these waterways are linked in a complex network with the Balanti, Halang, and Muntingdilao Creeks and the [[Sapang Baho River]], eventually emptying into Manggahan Floodway and Laguna de Bay.

==Ecology==

Marikina River is on the verge of an ecological imbalance as a strange species of fish has dominated its ecosystem. Since the late 1990s, the Marikina River has been infestated by [[janitor fish]]. Before, the river was thriving with local species [[Climbing gourami|martiniko]], [[Leiopotherapon plumbeus|ayungin]] and [[goby|biya]].
The growing fish population has prompted the city government to launch a new program to control their number. The city issued Ordinance 004, series of 2007, launching ''Janitor Fish Eradication Drive'' in the City of Marikina, granting cash incentives to participants, appropriating annually fifty thousand Pesos (P50,000.00) for the purpose.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mis.marikina.gov.ph/ordinancefiles/ORDINANCENO004.pdf|title=Ordinance No. 004|publisher=Marikina.gov.ph}}{{dead link|date=August 2013}}</ref>

A scientific study of the species found in five locations in the Laguna de Bay tributary system, including the Marikina River, revealed that the specimen of janitor fish previously reported as ''Hypostomus plecostomus'' actually belong to the genus ''[[Pterygoplichthys]]'', family [[Loricariidae]]. The collected specimens for this study consisted of two species; ''Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus'' and ''Pterygoplichthys pardalis''. Both species were collected from the Marikina River. Only the species ''disjunctivus'' was collected from Pasig River.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2006f/zt01109p068.pdf|title=New Philippine record of south american sailfin catfishes (Pisces: Loricariidae)|publisher=Zootaxa|accessdate=August 28, 2013}}</ref><ref>[http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/10714 American Chronicle | Janitor Fish Threatens Asia's Largest Marshland<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321013047/http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/10714 |date=March 21, 2008 }}</ref>

{{Main article|List of crossings of the Marikina River}}

A total of 16 [[bridge]]s cross the Marikina. The first bridge from the tri-junction with Boso-Boso and Sapa Bute Rivers is the Pacific Bridge, followed by the Rancho Luisito Way Bridge, Eastwood Greenview Bridge, and Phil Rock Spillway Bridge respectively to the south. Then it goes further towards the first government-owned bridge which is the San Jose Bridge.

Crossing over to the border in between Quezon City and San Mateo, Batasan-San Mateo Bridge crosses the route and then in Marikina it goes towards four bridges namely Gil Fernando Bridge, Marikina Bridge, Marcos Bridge, and the [[Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 2|Line 2]] bridge from [[Santolan LRT Station|Santolan Station]] to [[Katipunan LRT Station|Katipunan Station]].

The next bridge downstream towards the border between Quezon City and Marikina is the Macapagal Bridge connecting the cities of Quezon and Marikina. Then it crosses over to another administrative border between Quezon City and Pasig City with the Manalo Bridge.

Further downstream, the remaining bridges prior to the river's southern end are all in Pasig City wherein the first two are the Rosario Bridge and Sandoval Bridge. Then the newest bridge, opened in October 2017, is the Kaginhawaan Bridge that connects barangays Poblacion and Ugong in Pasig.<ref name="pasigcity.gov.ph">http://www.pasigcity.gov.ph/subpages/news.aspx?nSeq=21738</ref>
Then the last bridges near the Pasig River confluence are the Vargas Bridge and the Santa Rosa de Lima Bridge.

The future expressway bridge is the [[Metro Manila Skyway]]. Skyway stage 4 or Metro Manila Expressway/C-6 as planned serves as a connection road from the Stage 3 in Santa Mesa, [[Manila]] to the [[Batasang Pambansa]] Complex in [[Quezon City]]. The expressway bridge will be built within the city of Marikina, and will serve as a solution to heavy traffic along the Magsaysay Boulevard-Aurora Boulevard-Marikina-Infanta Highway corridor as well as Ortigas Avenue. The project is expected to commence by 2018.

== Significant floods ==

===Typhoon Ketsana/Ondoy ===
On 26 September 2009 at about 6:00 pm PST, [[Typhoon Ketsana|Typhoon Ondoy]] hit [[Metro Manila]] and dumped one month's rainfall in less than 24 hours, causing the Marikina River system, including the Manggahan Floodway, to burst its banks rapidly. Along with flooding along other river systems, 80 percent of the National Capital Region became flooded. Also flooded were 25 nearby provinces. In Metro Manila alone, {{convert|20|ft}} of dirty water forced people to evacuate their homes. By the 30th of September at least 450,000 inhabitants had been displaced, with at last 380,000 forced into makeshift shelters; 246 people were reported dead. It is believed that blocked pipes, a poorly maintained sewerage system, and uncollected domestic waste were major factors in the speed with which the flood waters engulfed the surrounding area. This prompted President [[Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo]] to declare a State of National Calamity and set up a task force to rescue the inhabitants. However, the government was forced to admit that resources were in short supply and called for global assistance. Thereafter, efforts have been made to make the drainage system better for the whole city by fixing the sewers together with the new trademarked "Red Sidewalks".

This is the worst storm that Metro Manila has experienced since 1967.

===Typhoon Meari/Falcon ===
On 24 June 2011, heavy rains of [[2011 Pacific typhoon season#Severe Tropical Storm Meari (Falcon)|Severe Tropical Storm Meari]] affected Luzon including Metro Manila. The water level in Marikina River reached its critical level, flooding beside its riverbanks, just near along the river. Fortunately, the water level did not reach its higher banks, into the streets and communities. No casualties were reported but the mud and debris from the river was left by overflowed riverbanks.

===Typhoon Nesat/Pedring ===
On 27 September 2011, [[Typhoon Nesat (2011)|Typhoon Pedring]] dumped heavy rains like Ondoy over Luzon including Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Marikina's water level reached a higher level than 24 June 2011, reaching {{convert|20.1|m}} by 5{&nbsp}pm. The flood submerged houses in several barangays of Marikina City and San Mateo. SM Marikina Basement Parking submerged in muddy water. No deaths were recorded in Marikina, but in San Mateo, there is one. The day after, the Marikina River returned in critical level. On 29 September 2011, 5{&nbsp}am, water subsided in the banks of the river and the residents started to clean. At 6{&nbsp}am, water reaches 15.2 meters.

===2012 Southwest Monsoon rains/Habagat ===
Although located hundreds of kilometres away from the Philippines, the southerly flow from [[Typhoon Haikui]] in early August, 2012 enhanced the southwest monsoon across much of [[Luzon]].<ref name="NDRRMC1">{{cite web|publisher=National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council |date=August 7, 2012 |accessdate=August 7, 2012 |title=SitRep No.1 re Effects of Southwest Monsoon Enhanced by TS "Haikui" |url=http://www.ndrrmc.gov.ph/attachments/article/638/NDRRMC%20Update%20Sit%20Rep%20%20Effects%20of%20Southwest%20monsoon,%207%20AUGUST%202012.pdf |format=PDF |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120816070602/http://www.ndrrmc.gov.ph/attachments/article/638/NDRRMC%20Update%20Sit%20Rep%20%20Effects%20of%20Southwest%20monsoon%2C%207%20AUGUST%202012.pdf |archivedate=August 16, 2012 |df= }}</ref> As a result, widespread heavy rains impacted regions still recovering from deadly floods triggered by [[Typhoon Saola (2012)|Typhoon Saola]] less than a week earlier.<ref name="TG1">{{cite web|publisher=The Telegraph|date=August 7, 2012|accessdate=August 7, 2012|title=China evacuates 450,000 after Philippines turned into 'waterworld' by Typhoon Haikui |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/9458221/China-evacuates-450000-after-Philippines-turned-into-waterworld-by-Typhoon-Haikui.html}}</ref> During a 22&#8209;hour span from 6–7 August, {{convert|687|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rain fell in parts of [[Metro Manila]], leading local media to compare the event to [[Typhoon Ketsana]] in 2009, which killed 464 in the city.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=GMA News|date=August 7, 2012|accessdate=August 7, 2012|title=Southwest monsoon brings more rains than Ondoy|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/268713/news/nation/southwest-monsoon-brings-more-rains-than-ondoy}}</ref> Some of the most severe flooding took place along the Marikina River, which swelled to near-record levels.
