Angat dam water level at 195 meters

By Pearl Gumapos

The Angat Dam’s water level is currently at 195 meters, the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) said on Tuesday (March 8) during the Laging Handa public briefing.

“Sa ngayon, ang level ng Angat Dam ay mga 195 meters po. [Kung] ikumpara natin sa mga naunang mga taon ay mababa,” NWRB Executive Director Sevillo David Jr. said.

David said that the public must prepare themselves come summer because of the low water levels of the dam.

“Sa ganitong sitwasyon na mababa ang level ng Angat Dam ay kailangan nating paghandaan ito para pagdating ng summer ay mayroon pong sapat na tubig na matatanggap,” David said.

“Nakahanda na ang mga deep wells at saka mga treatment facilities. Kasama din diyan ang pag-manage natin ng alokasyon. Sa ngayon po, sa tingin naman natin ay may sapat pa tayong tubig, partikular ngayong panahon ng tag-init,” he said.
