A 34.95-meter water level was also recorded at the Wawa Dam, which is only 2.05 meters away from reaching the critical level of 37 meters. Similar situations were also reported by the NIA-13 at the Simulao River Irrigation System in Poblacion I, Trento, Agusan del Sur; in the Gibong River Irrigation System in Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur; and in Tago River Irrigation System in Barangay Sagbayan, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur. The LPA's trough continues to dampen most parts of Caraga on Saturday morning with rains and thunderstorms.
