DENR: La Mesa Dam stable after overflow
The Philippine Star
|July 26, 2024
The water level of La Mesa Dam in Quezon City is now stable after it overflowed on Wednesday night amid the continuous intense rains brought by the southwest monsoon enhanced by Typhoon Carina, a Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) official said yesterday.
The dam has no floodgate and the water overflowed after it reached the spilling level of 80.15 meters, DENR Undersecretary Carlos David said.
“As of now, the level (of La Mesa Dam) is stable. We need to clarify that there are different kinds of dams or reservoirs in the Philippines. For La Mesa Dam, it has no floodgate. No water was released from the dam. It simply overflows once the reservoir is filled up,” he said in a radio interview.
