Dizon said that the drop in water pressure is one of the management strategies implemented by the MWSS to preserve the elevation of Angat Dam. As of 6 a.m. yesterday, the water level of Angat Dam was down by 0.29 meters compared to its previous level of 197.87 meters. It was 14.2 meters less compared to its normal high water level of 212 meters.
