CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan — A possible cloud-seeding operation over the Angat Watershed is being eyed as the water elevation of Angat Dam dips.
The dam is receding slowly below its minimum operating level of 180 meter.
Records from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office of Bulacan showed that the water elevation of Angat Dam has receded to 178.55 meter that is 1.45 meters below its minimum operating level.
To replenish the receding water of Angat Dam, the primary source of potable water to Metro Manila residents, Sevillo David Jr., executive director of the National Water Resources Board told UnliNews Online in a text message that the board is having a discussion with PAGASA on the viability of cloud-seeding operations over the Angat Watershed.
The receding water of Angat Dam is also expected to be aggravated by the expected El Niño weather phenomenon. (UnliNews Online)
