Suplay ng tubig galing sa Angat mananatiling normal

MAS mataas umano ang lebel ng tubig sa Angat dam ngayon kumpara sa lebel nito noong nakaraang taon, ayon sa National Water Resources Board (NWRB).

Kaya magpapatuloy umano ang normal na alokasyon ng tubig mula sa Angat dam papunta sa Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) hanggang Hunyo.

“With Pagasa (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) rainfall projection indicating near normal rainfall condition until September, the water level in Angat dam is projected not to fall below the minimum operating level of 180 meters (above sea level, or masl) despite the full allocation to MWSS and the releases for irrigation in its wet cropping season come June,” saad ng pahayag ng NWRB.

Mula noong Marso ay 46 cubic meter per second na ang isinusuplay na tubig mula sa Angat dam, itinaas mula sa 42 cubic meter per second kung kailan nagpatupad ng rotational service interruption ang Manila Water at Maynilad.

“On water sufficiency, the NWRB assures that water in Angat dam is sustainable until the onset of rainy season in June.”

Ang minimum operating level ng Angat dam ay 180 metro.

Kanilang alas-6 ng umaga ang lebel ng tubig sa Angat ay 191.8 metro.

“NWRB reminds the public once again to responsibly use water for this is considered as one of the most vital frontline defenses against the COVID-19. Additionally, saving water from the demand side not only ensures sustainable water supply for domestic use in Metro Manila but also secures water for irrigation use in the Bulacan and Pampanga farmlands. Conserving water will also help in the recovery of Angat dam’s year-end water elevation to secure the supply for all water uses until early next year.”
