Diskusyon – Another crisis looms in 2015

Other than the much-publicized power crisis, summer 2015 may also see a water crisis due to the El Niño phenomenon.

Pertinent government agencies are on the top of the problem because such crisis may result in the rise of water utility charges.

In particular, Sevillo David Jr., Director of the National Water Resources Board added that they are monitoring the water levels of Angat Dam, said dam supplying 90% of water in Metro Manila.

Prior to this, Angat Dam stopped supplying water for irrigation purposes to Bulacan, saying that their priority is to provide water to Metro Manila households.

Last August, Angat Dam only has a water level of 177 meters which is below its normal level of 180 meters.
