Angat Dam Still below Critical

The rainy season is to end very soon, but barely any much water was added to the reservoir.

As of 6 days ago, the water level was at 175 meters above sea level, 5 meters below the critical of 180. What was found surprising was that the rainy season, which starts July until August, has not been sufficient in filling up the dam accordingly.


The continued growth of Metro Manila means water requirements will keep on increasing. The current 3 dams will not be sufficient in supplying the city at its growth.

Makati, Fort Bonifacio, all the way to Laguna, are enjoying unprecedented growth in construction, with new buildings being put up non-stop.Unless something is done to ensure that people use their water wisely. We need to expect water rationing to take effect not too long from now.
