00:00 The water supply for the dams in some provinces in Central Luzon is running out

00:04 due to the low water supply in the Pantabangan Reservoir.

00:07 The problem is also due to the lack of water.

00:10 In Talisay, Negros Occidental, some of the dams are already dead.

00:14 This is the first news of Russell Simorio of GMA Regional TV1 North Central Luzon.

00:19 Because the water level in the Pantabangan Dam Reservoir is also decreasing,

00:27 the water supply in some areas in Central Luzon is already running out.

00:31 That's why Mang Raul's water supply is already half full

00:36 and the expected 150 cabans of rice are not enough.

00:40 I hope there will be more water.

00:44 Or irrigated, so that we can have more rice.

00:49 Because if there's not enough water, there's not enough rice.

00:56 The National Irrigation Administration

00:59 Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation System, UNIA-APRIS,

01:04 admitted that the water level in the Pantabangan Dam

01:07 did not reach the target water elevation for the dry cropping season.

01:11 In the middle of El Nino,

01:13 and the water elevation of the Pantabangan Dam here in the province of Nueva Ecija,

01:18 the affected area is 7,000 hectares.

01:22 The National Irrigation Administration said that the irrigation system is at the end of the dam,

01:27 that's why the water level did not reach the target.

01:32 Our vulnerable area or the affected area is 50,550.

01:38 But out of that 50,000, only 7,000 are not irrigated yet.

01:44 That's the fixed number because our irrigation system is already finished.

01:47 We are in the process of harvesting.

01:52 The UNIA-APRIS also admitted that only a small percentage of the dry cropping is done

01:57 because of the intervention it is doing.

01:59 Also because of the lack of water,

02:02 the crops of some farmers in Talisay Negros Occidental are slowly dying.

02:09 We are three.

02:10 The crops are dying.

02:14 We don't have any food to eat.

02:19 We are starving.

02:21 We have no food to eat.

02:23 We don't have anything to eat.

02:25 We are living on salt.

02:27 The City Hall is studying on how to do cloud seeding.

02:31 They are doing manual transplanting in Jaro Iloilo City.

02:36 Six varieties of rice are being planted and one lagoon is supplying water for irrigation.

02:42 There are also solar-powered irrigation systems in the area.

02:45 In Zamboanga City, the water containers of residents who will be moving from Deepwell are already in line.

02:54 According to Zamboanga City Water District,

02:56 they are worried about the continuous drop in the water level in Diversion Well.

03:01 Yes, in terms of water supply, it is from worse to worse.

03:06 The continuous drop in the water level in more than 30 barangays is affected by the lack of water supply.

03:13 According to the experts, El Niño is still strong and mature.

03:17 It is still possible to feel it until the next few months.

03:22 In addition, by the end of February, it is possible to reach 24 provinces in Luzon

03:29 and Visayas will be hit by drought.

03:31 17 will be affected by dry spell and 10 will experience dry condition.

03:38 This is the first news.
