The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Pampanga-Bataan Irrigation Management Office (PamBat IMO) has successfully reassembled a shutter at Porac Dam, a vital infrastructure component of the Porac Gumain River Irrigation System (PGRIS), on November 5, 2024.
The restoration was led by Engr. Alexius S. Academia, marking the fifth time this year the shutter has been reassembled following the damage brought by typhoons.
The shutter is important in regulating water flow to allow the efficient distribution of water to irrigation canals. It is essential in supporting the agricultural productivity of the service area, which spans numerous farming communities in Pampanga.
With that, the timely restoration of the shutter is expected to significantly improve irrigation efficiency, supporting the livelihood of farmers and boosting agricultural output in the area. With the system’s continued operation, PGRIS aims to mitigate water shortages and enhance resilience to climate-related disruptions.
