ANGELES CITY – While Metro Manilans are faced with shortage of water supply from the Angat Dam in Bulacan, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has assured some 60,000 farmers in Central Luzon of adequate irrigation from the Pantabangan Dam in Nueva Ecija at least in the next four months.

Antonio Nongel, operations chief of the NIA’s Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation System, told The STAR that despite the lack of rainfall, the water level at Pantabangan Dam has reached 194.10 meters.

While the water level is below the ideal 203.53 meters, the volume is enough to irrigate 84,830 hectares this transplanting season, he said.
