. Abstract
This technical report will examine the design of Angat Dam, which is a main supplier of
water in the Manila Metropolitan Area. It will also show the sufficiency of the dam during
the years since 1967. It may show some comparison to the other dams in their design
and their different purposes. This will give the information on how well the design is
prepared for making the Angat Dam and how well it is maintained through the years.
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the process on making a stable and long
lasting dam to prevent crisis especially during the storm. The Angat Dam itself is an
example of quality built structure and properly planned to avoid having ecological impact
in the surroundings.
This technical report may give information on how to maintain the stability of the Dam as
time goes by, especially that there are many factors to be considered and the problem
