00:00The situation of dams and the loss of water of some of these is due to the impact of Hurricane Nika and our discussion with Elmer Karingal,
00:10Hydrologist from the Hydrometeorology Division of PAGASA.
00:15Sir, good afternoon.
00:18Yes, good afternoon to you too, Ma'am Nguyen and Ma'am Nina. Good afternoon to our viewers.
00:24Sir, how is the water level of our dams today and those affected by Hurricane Nika?
00:29Which of these dams rose to the normal level when the hurricane hit?
00:35Actually, we have three dams here in Karagan, here in the downstream of Karagan, in Pangasinan,
00:43and they are located in Agno River Basin.
00:47The three dams that are located there and are still open until now are Buklao,
00:54which is the upstream, then in the downstream is Hinga,
00:57and in the lowest, which is the dam that is located in Pangasinan, the San Roque Dam,
01:05and we also have the Magat Dam, which is located deep in the River Basin,
01:11and this Magat Dam is located in Isabela.
01:15Okay, so for now, is what I heard correct?
01:18The water is continuously being lost in these three large dams?
01:25So, for now, the water is still being lost because although there is little rain observed there,
01:32but when Nina passed through, the strong rain that she brought,
01:36which is the one in the mountains,
01:39and for now, it is going down towards our reservoir,
01:45this is the Buklao-Vinga-San Roque and the Magat in the River Basin.
01:50Okay, what is the effect of the water still being lost even though there is not much rain?
01:58Actually, the San Roque, because the Buklao-Vinga in San Roque,
02:03and San Roque is also open because the contribution of the Buklao-Vinga in San Roque is also big,
02:10and the water being lost in San Roque is still a bit tolerable in our river,
02:18so it does not have much effect,
02:21and in the Agno River Basin, there is not much strong rain observed there.
02:27What we are monitoring is the Magat,
02:31because the Magat in Isabela, which was hit by the strong rain,
02:38so there is a lot of water being lost
02:42because it is necessary for it to reach the normal high of 193,
02:49so there is a lot of volume of water being lost,
02:53but that is not the real reason,
02:56the water is just a bit strong, the rain that fell within the watershed of Cagayan.
03:01In the Magat, because you said that the water being lost is big,
03:07maybe there are areas that you want to investigate,
03:11areas where there are people who live there,
03:15are they prepared to flood their area?
03:21Actually, this was affected by the loss of the Magat,
03:25the loss of the Magat will fall from Magat River to Cagayan River,
03:31so these are the municipalities that were affected by the direct loss of the Magat,
03:37Alfonso Lista in Ipugao, Ramon, San Mateo, Aurora, Cabatuan,
03:47Luna, Reyna Mercedes, Borgos, Naguilian, and Gamo.
03:52The Magat River is being lost,
03:55then it will go to Cagayan River Basin,
03:58which is the river basin of Cagayan,
04:01it also provided flood advisory in areas that are currently affected by flooding.
04:12So sir, how did you prepare for the Magiung Ophel to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility?
04:18And are there other dams that are being monitored right now?
04:21Because we know that you are doing preventive spilling so that it won't overflow.
04:26What if, for example, the rain rose and you lost water earlier,
04:33what about the areas that will also be affected by the rain?
04:37Maybe ma'am, right now, there are still four dams that are being monitored,
04:41because they are the ones that are close to our normal high.
04:44So maybe what they are doing is,
04:46even if there is no more storm, we still have another one coming,
04:49this is the Magiung Ophel, then there is another one coming,
04:53that also entered the park, this is Cipipito.
04:57So maybe they are still monitoring continuously,
05:00but this time, just little by little,
05:03so that the water won't overflow,
05:05because our dams also need water for power generation, irrigation,
05:12so they also need water.
05:14So far, just little by little,
05:17and it is the decision of our dam management
05:20on how they will control our water in our dams.
05:24Okay, a message or a reminder to our fellow countrymen,
05:29especially to those affected by the Nika earthquake.
05:33What we always say to our fellow countrymen,
05:38especially to those affected by such a disaster,
05:42is to be prepared.
05:44Because we have areas that are being flooded,
05:49landslides are happening.
05:51What we always tell them is to listen to the radio,
05:58to the TV, to the advice of concerned agencies,
06:02this is a particular thing that we are giving hope for,
06:05so that they can be prepared or be alert.
06:08And we always tell them not to wait for the flood,
06:14they will just evacuate.
06:17And our fellow countrymen,
06:20they are giving designated areas for evacuation,
