Rains raise water levels of major dams in Luzon
Water levels in major dams in Luzon have risen on Friday due to rains brought by Tropical storm “Kabayan.”
Angat Dam in Bulacan has increased by 1.14 meters from the day before, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Angat Dam is responsible for most of Metro Manila’s water supply.
From 189.91 meters, the waters increased to 191.05 meters in Angat Dam, Pagasa said.
Ipo Dam also increased by 1.13 meters—from 99.92 meters to 101.05 meters.
