This just in from a fellow Urdanetan working at San Roque Dam:
As of 2:00 pm, 3 gates are now open at 1.0 meter each.
Water is 7.80 meters above Normal High Water Level
Binga Dam in Benguet has opened 6 gates while upstream Ambuklao Dam also in Benguet has opened 8 gates.
Water released from Ambuklao flows into the Binga reservoir, while the water released by Binga flows downstream to the San Roque Dam.
In effect, San Roque Dam is the catch basin for all this water.
============================================
As of 12:00 pm, 2 gates are now open at 0.5 meters each.
As of 10:00 am, 1 gate was open at 0.05 meters (PAGASA)
