But he clarified that the irrigation rationing is not expected to affect agricultural production and prices as most rice farmers have already harvested their crops beginning in March and the crops that remain standing crops are due for harvest at the middle or the end of this month.
Clara said they will no longer ask for any allocation from the National Water Resources Board this month because farmers will not need any irrigation supply. Meteorologists have also predicted the onset of the El Niño phenomenon from July to September and that may persist until 2024. Lee said that under HB 2880 and the other pending bills at the lower chamber, all agencies concerned with the country’s water resources would be consolidated under the proposed DWRM.
