PAGASA's hydrometeorology division said that on Saturday, Angat's water level dropped by 40 meter after it reached 197.18 from its previous level of 197.58.
Yesterday, the water level again dropped by .36 meter, making it 15.18 below the dam's normal high level of 212 meters.
Although the water level keeps declining, it remains above the dam's minimum operating level of 180 meters.
Patrick Dizon, department manager of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), said the average daily drop in the water level in Angat was expected to range between .30 and .40 meters.
"We do not expect it to increase further based on historical records,' Dizon told The STAR over the weekend.
He said based on forecast, Angat Dam could reach its minimum operating level of 180 meters by June.
