Dams continue spilling after Rolly

Water levels in Ambuklao and Binga dams continued to rise despite ongoing spilling operations following Super Typhoon Rolly.

PAGASA hydrologist Rosalie Pagulayan noted that the water inflow from Rolly is still affecting these dams, necessitating continuous release of water to maintain structural safety.

As of Tuesday morning, Ambuklao and Binga dams' water levels were 751.31 meters and 574.42 meters respectively, slightly higher than the previous day but lower than two days ago.

PAGASA reported that spilling operations are still ongoing with one gate open at Ambuklao and two gates open at Binga to manage water levels.

Meanwhile, PAGASA hydrologist Max Peralta stated that spilling operations were also continuing at Magat and Ipo dams on Monday morning to prevent potential danger from Tropical Storm Siony, which may further raise the already high water levels.
