Ambuklao, Binga dams release water due to typhoon Egay


MANILA, July 27 ----- Ambuklao and Binga dams started releasing water due to heavy rains brought by typhoon Egay, state weather bureau PAGASA said.


PAGASA hydrologist Elmer Caringal said Ambuklao Dam's level rose by almost 3 meters in the past 24 hours. "Ang tinaas ng Ambuklao within 24 hours nasa 2.99 meters, almost 3 meters. So nag-decide ng pamunuan ng Ambuklao na magbawas sila ng tubig," Caringal told ABS-CBN News.


The Binga dam also opened its gates, with 65 cms water discharge. "Cascading dam ito, Ambuklao, Binga. Yung pakakawalan ng Binga, sasaluhin ng San Roque, etong San Roque, mababa naman sya. Elevation ng San Roque, 228.25 malaki laki pa, 41 meters pa ang kailangan," Caringal said.


These dams cater primarily to power generation, with small allocations to irrigation and domestic use. Meanwhile, Magat and Angat Dam registered small increments in their water level, after their watersheds received smaller amount of rainfall, Caringal said. The duration of water release from the dams will depend on the inflow of water from upstream.
