Water levels of Angat Dam, 4 others rise overnight —PAGASA

The Angat Dam and four other reservoirs recorded increases in their respective water levels in the past 24 hours, according to PAGASA’s 8 a.m. update on Sunday.

The Angat Dam recorded the largest increase at 1.06 meters—rising from 181.57 meters on Saturday to 182.63 meters.

Water level increases were also observed at Ambuklao (+0.21 meters), San Roque (+1.04 meters), Pantabangan (+0.47 meters), and Caliraya (+0.13 meters).

Meanwhile, slight drops were recorded over the same period at the following dams: Ipo (-0.19 meters), La Mesa (-0.15 meters), Binga (-0.28 meters), and Magat (-0.07 meters).

Despite these gains, water levels at all reservoirs remain below their normal high water level (NHWL). Caliraya's NHWL was not included in PAGASA’s update.

Spillway operations were scaled down: Ambuklao reduced its open gates from three to two, with a discharge of 201.65 cubic meters per second (cms). Binga reduced its open gates from four to three, discharging 277.51 cms. —Lyjah Tiffany Bonzo/RF, GMA News
