MANILA, Philippines — There is sufficient water supply in Metro Manila for the “summer” season, National Water Resources Board executive director Dr. Sevillo David Jr. said Friday.
David said Angat Dam, the main water source of Metro Manila, said that the dam’s water level currently stands at over 210 meters, higher than the recorded level at the dam during the same period in previous years.
“Sa ganitong level ay masasabi nating may sapat tayong supply ng tubig para magamit,” David said in an interview with Teleradyo.
Asked if there is sufficient water supply for the dry season, David responded in the affirmative.
