Are We Headed For The Driest Summer In The Philippines in 2015?

Are we in for the worst water shortage crisis this year?

It seems that a lot of issues have been buried by recent eyeball grabbing headlines and so much so that we've lost track of more vital issues that will hammer down on us in a few weeks time.

An article in ABS-CBN warns "Metro Manila may face water crisis next summer" 

Metro Manila may also face a water shortage in the summer of 2015. This if the water levels at the Angat Dam do not go up by year-end. 

Water level at the Angat Dam, which supplies Maynilad and Manila Water, remained at 178.46 meters as of Monday. 

In the same period last year, the level was at 192.98 meters. 

Angat's water level must reach at least 210 meters to prevent supply problems in the summer of 2015.

In reading the rest of article, which also highlights an announcement of the Maynilad Water Services that water may have to be rationed, I must caution people to be a wary not to be taken in by the underlying agenda that runs through the article.
