Magat Dam to continue spilling operations throughout December
The Magat Dam in Northern Luzon will continue spilling operations throughout December due to heavy rainfall.
PAGASA forecasts around 240 millimeters of rain for the month, with tropical cyclones, amihan, and other weather systems contributing to increased water levels.
Hydrologist Richard Orendain said continuing spillage is necessary to prevent structural damage to the dam.
Earlier this month, flooding in downstream communities was linked to the release of excess water from Magat Dam.
