The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) warned the public on Thursday to brace for lower water allocation in Metro Manila as the measure is necessary to avoid a repeat of last summer’s water shortage where millions of households were severely affected.

“Authorities cannot increase the water allocation for houses to the normal 46 cubic meters per second from the current 40 m³/s because Angat Dam, Metro Manila’s main water source, was still below its normal operating level,’’ said NWRB Executive Director Sevillo David Jr.

David noted that since January, the NWRB has regulated the water supply allocation to minimum levels to ensure ample water supply in the coming months.
