The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) will put CCTV (closed-circuit TV) cameras at the spill-gates of Angat, Ipo and Bustos dam and major rivers to monitor in real time the actual releases of water from the dams and the rise of rivers during typhoon season.
Governor Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado said the provincial government is now consulting with technicians that will put up the CCTV cameras and the monitoring systems that will be put up at the operations center of the PDRRMO at the capitol compound here.
"Through this, we will see the actual release of water from the dams and its flow to Angat river and some low-lying towns, including the increase of water level in the major rivers in Bulacan," Alvardo said during his weekly radio program "The Governor's Hour," which he co-anchors with Bulakenyo broadcaster Rommel Ramos every Saturday morning over DWSS 1494 khz on the AM band.
The governor said that CCTV cameras will also be put up at the Angat river and Sta. Maria river so that the PDRRMO can monitor and act fast during stormy weather.
The PDRRMO reported that the spill-gates of Angat, Ipo and Bustos dams are still open as of 8 a.m. Saturday. The three dams have started releasing water since Thursday afternoon after the water level at Angat dam reached 214 meters, which is four meters above the dam's spilling level of 212 meters.
