he said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Peralta added that the move is necessary as looming Tropical Storm Siony might further raise the dams&#8217; already high water level.<\/p>\n<p>In its latest bulletin, the weather bureau said &#8220;Siony&#8221; may intensify into a severe tropical storm before making landfall in the extreme Northern Luzon area later this week.<\/p>\n<p>According to PAGASA, the 6 a.m. water level in Ambuklao, Binga, Magat, and Ipo dams on Monday are 0.76 meters, 1.16 meters, 4.42 meters, and 0.38 meters below their respective spilling or normal high levels.<\/p>\n<p>Peralta observed that these dams then are no longer spilling as much water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That may be because runoff from &#8216;Rolly&#8217; is likely easing already,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the locations of these dams may not have received much rain after \u201cRolly\u201d left, he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Ambuklao and Magat released on Monday morning less water compared to 24 hours earlier, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He said only one gate of Binga was open compared to the two gates on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ipo&#8217;s discharge was minimal,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The water in Magat&#8217;s big drainage area flows into the Ipo dam so it fills up easily and must spill accordingly, he added.<em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0\u2013 The Ambuklao, Binga, Magat, and Ipo dams in Luzon continue to release water in the aftermath of Typhoon Rolly &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":211654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-273801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-catherine-teves","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273801"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273806,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273801\/revisions\/273806"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
