State climate bureau PAGASA on Friday stated the continual rains from Tropical Depression Dodong and the southwest monsoon raised the water ranges on the Angat and Ipo Dams.
According to Sandra Aguinaldo’s report on “24 Oras,” PAGASA stated the Angat Dam reservoir should attain the spilling degree of 210 meters earlier than the 12 months ends.
“Dahil nga sa napakababang lebel ng Angat Dam, kailangan pa rin natin ng apat hanggang limang bagyo para umabot ito sa 210 meters elevation,” stated PAGASA Hydrologist, Richard Orendain.
(Due to Angat Dam’s low water degree, we’ll want as much as 5 tropical cyclones to succeed in the 210-meter elevation.)
Meanwhile, the water degree within the Novaliches Portal elevated as a result of rain, except for the allocation it will get from the Angat Dam.
“Pag umulan sa may Ipo watershed, ‘yung Ipo Dam, name-maintain siyang mataas,” stated Maynilad Corporate Communications Head Jennifer Rufo.
(When it rains on the Ipo watershed, the Ipo Dam, the excessive water degree is maintained.)
“So basta mataas yung level ng Ipo Dam, kahit konti ‘yung nilalabas ng Angat, nami-meet niya yung shortfall,” she added.
(Just so long as the Ipo Dam degree is excessive, even when Angat would not launch a lot, the shortfall is met.)
Meanwhile, the Metro Manila Council was anticipated to subject ordinances on methods to save lots of water as they appear into strategies to assist entrepreneurs and companies that use water.
“Depende talaga kung gaano maging kababa ang lebel ng dams natin na siyang pinagkukunan ng tubig sa Metro Manila,” stated Metro Manila Council President and San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora.
(It relies on how far the degrees drop at our dams – Metro Manila’s water supply.)
“Huwag na sanang umabot sa punto na kinakailangan nating maglalagay pa ng cap sa paggamit ng tubig,” he added.
(Hopefully, we cannot need to put a cap on the usage of water.) — Sherylin Untalan/DVM, GMA Integrated News
