DENR Undersecretary Carlos David said that the department, through the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) is eyeing to tap the lower level outlet of Angat Dam to ensure water supply in Metro Manila.
As of 8 a.m. yesterday, the water level of Angat Dam dropped by 0.27 meters from its previous level of 187.13 meters. It was 25.14 meters below its normal high water level of 212 meters.
David ruled out the possibility of experiencing a water crisis similar to 2019 despite the impact of the El Niño and the dry season.
“If I recall, 2019 was the worst (water) interruption in recent times. Metro Manila residents queued just to have water. I don’t think we will reach that point because number one, we are activating another outlet where the water will be sourced from a lower level,” David added.
He said that despite the decline in water level of Angat Dam, the DENR and NWRB decided to provide full allocation for irrigation for the entire month of May.
