Magat Dam to generate power for May 9 polls

MANILA - The Magat Dam in northern Luzon will release water for power generation from March 5 to May 9 to help boost the available power supply for the coming national automated elections. The water supply will continue during the period as the facility is scheduled to stop releasing irrigation water, with the current cropping activities in its service area over by then, acting head of the Flood Forecasting and Instrumentation Section of the Dam and Reservoir Division (DRD) of the National Irrigation Administration - Magat River Integrated Irrigation System, Edwin Viernes, said on Saturday. The dam will have a water allocation of about 40 cubic meters per second (cms) for power generation during the period, Viernes said. "That will produce around 25 megawatts of power," he said, noting that the production would help boost the availability of power, especially for the national polls in May. Water in Magat Dam has been decreasing due to a shortage of rainfall over the watershed ....

Lower water allocation likely in Magat Dam

File photo MANILA - Magat Dam in northern Luzon is facing next month the possibility of having reduced allocation of water for irrigating its palay-growing service areas totaling nearly 86,000 hectares. The expected continuing dip in Magat's water due to rainfall shortage may prompt a reduction, said Edwin Viernes, acting head of Flood Forecasting and Instrumentation Section of Dam and Reservoir Division (DRD) of National Irrigation Administration-Magat River Integrated Irrigation System. "Reduction in Magat's allocation or irrigation diversion requirement is likely if there will be no favorable inflow that can considerably raise water in the dam," he said Tuesday, adding that water flowing into the facility is only about 75 percent of what it normally receives. However, there is low possibility for an anticipated favorable inflow soon as Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecast only one or even no tropical cyclone ....
