Angat Dam below critical level

Water level at Angat Dam dips below critical level

Just trying to grasp what's been said in recent articles:

1. Just how many % of the power to MM is dependent on Angat?
2. At what levels should we worry about brownouts?
3. i read another article that said "at 160m, water faucets could run dry" -- was this meant literally?
4. Another article also mentioned the possibility of rationing water in MM to 42cubic meters per household; how does this work actually? i don't think they have the means to control the consumption per household, so does it mean that, say for barangay X, we will let Y cubic meters flow out, then shut it off? E di unahan na yan?

Sobra sobra ulan nakukuha ng pilipinas every year pero pag dating ng summer na 3months lang eh hirap sa tubig ang metro manila.

pano... napupunta sa baha.
and nagpapakawala din ng tubig ang mga dams pag tagulan, which means, di ganung kalaki ang capacity.

every year ganyan naman parati, "critical level" kuno...

Marami iyang 42 cu m per household (per month)....

This means 1.4 cu m per household per day....

Exactly! Year after year, the same cycle of issue is raised.
Pag summer , water level is in critical, supply will be rationing again. Blackout in Mindanao , MM at risk of brownouts.
Pag tag ulana na, dams are to over spill, towns will go under water once flood gate is opened. Esteros & spill ways are
clogged.
School opening, hundreds of school to raise tuition fees.

Yet, what has goverment done to improve the repetitive problems, WALA! Cause the money ends in the pocket.

What's worrying about this year is the forcasted El nino starting this June that may last til early next year...

At what levels do our dams have to drop down to before we have to worry about rotating blackouts?

i just read an article about a proposal to build two more dams to supply water to MM; that's a good idea, 10 years ago Sigurado pag tag ulan na e makakalimutan na to.

Kahit saan problema ang tubig kapag summer. Kaya bad trip din ako bakit hindi gawan nang konkretong plano nang government. Eh for sure naman na mas dadami demand every succeeding years. Hindi ba puwede advance planning ang implementation talaga?

envisaged to augment Angat Dam
Gov't may revive Laiban Dam project

[xninjax]

halos every year pag summner naririnig natin yang "below critical level" na yan pero wala naman ginagawang long term na solution

Kakainis diba. Yung iba nga sa atin nag-aanticipate nang problema at may preparations na agad. Ito wala eh, cloud seeding lang programa? WTF talaga.

[jodski]

kasi daw cloud seeding pwede ulit ulitin ... one to sawa

And they shelve it again when the rains come.

Population is growing really fast, pero yung dams same size. Climate change is moving toward extremes (extreme rain or extreme heat). So either umapaw yung dam on extreme rains (so pakakawalan tubig = baha) or maubos laman (evaporation + over-usage of water in overpopulated cities, mini-swimming pools, mas madalas maligo, mas maraming iniinom etc). Not to mention faulty/leaking pipes everywhere.

Wala silang ginawa kundi manakot. Sakay naman ang media. Kakahiya karamihan sa pinag-aaksayahan ng oras sa local news kumpara sa iba.

Question is, Is it getting worse year to year?
