DAGUPAN CITY : The National Power Corp. on Thursday opened a spillway gate of the Binga Dam in Itogon, Benguet due to the continuous rains dumped by the seasonal monsoon intensified by Typhoon Carina, which has left the country.Valeriano Barro Jr., NPC flood operation manager, said that the spillway gate was opened at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 25, at a height of half meter, releasing water at 55 cubic meters per meter. A cubic meter of water is 1,000 liters or about five drums of water.
Barro said that on July 24, one of the dam's spillway gates was opened at 11 a.m. but it was closed after four hours because water inflow to the dam weakened.Binga Dam is one of the three dams built in the Agno River. The other two are the Ambuklao Dam in Bokod, Benguet and the San Roque Dam in San Manuel, Pangasinan.As cascading dams, water released by the Ambuklao flows to Binga, while the water spilled from Binga is caught by the San Roque Dam downstream of the Agno River.
