Unreplenished with rain, Magat dam drying up

(UPDATE) THE water at the Magat Dam reservoir is approaching the level where it will be too shallow to generate power, the National Irrigation Administration-Magat River Integrated Irrigation System (NIA-Mariis) reported.

Because little or no rain has fallen for days in the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Ifugao, the level has dropped by 7.5 meters since June 1, the NIA-Mariis said.
