“In the last few days, we have seen the level of Angat go below the minimum operating level. We have to clarify what that means. The level at Angat is 178.8 meters, which is below the 180 meters minimum operating level of Angat,” he said. He said DENR Regional Offices, for one, maintain such rainwater harvesting facilities for non-essential water uses like cleaning cars and watering plants.
