00:00 While the temperature is rising, the water level in the dams is also decreasing.
00:05 According to the National Water Resources Board,
00:08 it will be more noticeable in the expected decrease in water allocation in the next month.
00:13 Mary Zumaleg is on the air.
00:14 In the middle of the dry season and if El Nino's irrigation plan is expected to continue,
00:23 the National Water Resources Board in Metro Manila will reduce the water allocation.
00:28 From 50 cubic meters per second, it will be 48 cubic meters per second from April 16 to April 30.
00:35 According to the NWRB, El Nino is also the reason why this should be done.
00:40 Starting this year, the water level in the Angat Dam is already below 17 meters.
00:45 According to the NWRB, the water level in the Angat Dam is already below 180 meters or even lower.
00:53 Because if this happens, it can lead to a water deficit and it will affect the water allocation
01:00 in the Metro Manila households and even in the irrigation.
01:03 Our rainfall projection is low because of the rain.
01:09 So, it's below normal.
01:11 It's only there in the Angat watershed.
01:13 If we don't reduce this, I said that at the end of the year,
01:18 we won't be able to supply enough water for the following year because we didn't reach the level.
01:25 According to the NWRB, it is possible that the allocation of continuous rainfall in the Angat watershed will go down.
01:32 According to the NWRB, this will affect the places that supply water to Manila.
01:37 But the NWSS assures that...
01:40 Our customers will not lose water.
01:43 We will only reduce the strength or pressure of the water.
01:48 Our strategy is to manage the water coming from the Angat Dam.
01:52 These are the hours, from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. where the utilization is low.
02:01 The NWSS has added water sources.
02:04 According to the expectation, the possible irrigation of the Laniña will be done in the second half of the year
02:09 when the water level in the reservoirs is expected to rise again.
02:13 Because it is expected that there will be more rain,
02:15 but authorities remind that it is better to save on water consumption.
02:20 Like using a glass when cleaning and recycling the plate used for watering plants or flush in the inodoro.
02:28 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali speaking, 24 hours.
