Angat Dam on Thursday breached the low-level mark of 160 meters, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported.  

As of 6 am, the dam's water level fell to 160.73 meters, considered as critical level for domestic water supply. This is 19.27 meters off from its minimum operating water level of 180 meters.
