The water level at Angat Dam has dropped significantly amid reduced rainfall, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). The decline raises concerns about water supply for Metro Manila and irrigation in nearby provinces.
PAGASA reported that the dam's water level has fallen below its normal operating range as the dry season sets in. Officials are monitoring the situation closely and urge the public to conserve water.
Angat Dam is a critical water source for the National Capital Region and provides irrigation for thousands of hectares of farmland. The reduced inflow highlights the impact of changing weather patterns on the country's water security.
