Reservoir levels in May closed at 69.12%, a figure recorded prior to the official declaration of El Niño conditions. This level indicates a concerning trend as the anticipated climate pattern typically brings drier conditions. Despite declining water levels, hydroelectric power remains a leading source of renewable energy. In May alone, hydropower generated 179.6 gigawatt-hours. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, anticipating potential impacts on water supply and energy production. The current reservoir levels raise concerns about future availability, especially considering the expected effects of El Niño. Continued reliance on hydropower necessitates careful water resource management strategies.
