On my old discussion I mentioned about the water shortage in some areas of Metro Manila. The dams are on their critical level of being drained because of the weather. I was not affected where I live because the water company still provides service. Until mid June, the water company announced the water interruptions.
Yes, we don't have water supply from 4 PM to 5 AM the following day. Good thing, I have a big box in the apartment. Everyday I fill it with water.
And today, I made sure that I fill it again. At 4 PM I am anticipating zero water drop. We still have water supply until now.
Thank God for the rain. Aside from the not-so-warm weather, it also replenishes the water reservior. The water company does not need to cut the service.

Rains have alleviated your water supply. Soon it would be back to normal.

There was no interruption yesterday. I was waiting at 4pm and was surprised we had supply in the evening.

It's dad when there's water shortage; it;s due to dwindling water reserves due to deforestation, climate change, and too many people using water. They should be more prudent in using it to avoid wastage.

Exactly. We/People learn to conserve water when there is already an issue.

It did not rain here for months that is why the dams are almost empty.
