Angat Dam has reached a 200-meter water level on Monday from hitting its historical low of 150.42 meters a month ago, due to recent inclement weather brought by the southwest monsoon, according to the state weather bureau on Monday.
The dam reached 200.20 meters above sea level after it gained a 2.20 meter increase in the past 24 hours, according to the 8:00 a.m. dam information of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Angat Dam has already increased by nearly 50 meters since its historic low of 150.42 meters on July 25.
Its continuous uptrend in water elevation follows continuous inclement weather in the past month and recent days, primarily due to the southwest monsoon being enhanced by tropical cyclones.
