More typhoons needed for Angat to reach high water level
The Philippine Star|July 26, 2024
At least three to four typhoons are needed for Angat Dam to finally reach the normal high water level despite the intense rains brought by the southwest monsoon that was enhanced by Typhoon Carina, according to the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).
BELLA CARIASO

The water level of Angat Dam is expected to further go up after it reached 182.8 meters or 2.8 meters above its minimum operating level of 180 meters, MWSS department manager Patrick Dizon said.

“Since the watersheds are already saturated, we expect its elevation to further increase in the next few days. We still need at least three to four typhoons before the dam reaches its normal high water level (of 210 meters),” Dizon told The STAR.

As of 8 a.m. yesterday, the water level of Angat Dam increased by 4.39 meters compared to its previous level of 178.41 meters. It was still 27.20 meters below its normal high water level.
