SM City La Union Boosts Climate Resilience with Rainwater Catchment System

San Fernando, La Union, Philippines —   With climate change driving heavier rains and more frequent floods, proactive flood prevention has become a key part of building resilient communities. 

SM City La Union, now the 30th mall of SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) that features a rainwater catchment facility, expands its network of climate-resilient infrastructure nationwide. For SM Supermalls, catchment facilities are designed to collect and store large volumes of stormwater, preventing runoff that could otherwise overwhelm drainage networks. 

During heavy rainfall, the catchment temporarily holds stormwater, allowing gradual discharge through proper channels. Collectively, SM City La Union’s underground rainwater catchment system can provide a total capacity of 760 cubic meters
