Sanusi said, adding that further periodic releases would follow until the water levels stabilise.Four days ago, there was a release of 10 million cubic metres of water from the dam into Sungai Muda,
This move was in response to a request from Penang due to declining water levels in Sungai Muda near the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) intake in Lahar Tiang, Bukit Mertajam.
he told a press conference after chairing the Kedah exco meeting today, reported Bernama.We sympathise with our neighbouring state, as I have seen images of drought at the Lahar Tiang intake due to the receding water levels of Sungai Muda,
Sanusi said his office had been informed by the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) that cloud seeding would be conducted soon to stabilise the water levels in Sungai Muda.
he said.In response to requests from the Kedah water resources board, Mada (Muda Agricultural Development Authority), and Sada (Syarikat Air Darul Aman), cloud seeding will be carried out by Nadma thrice to stabilise the water levels in Sungai Muda,
PBAPP previously called for Kedah to release water from the Beris dam after the water level of Sungai Muda on Penang’s side had dropped below 2m for four days in a row, leading to concerns about the state’s water supply.
Sungai Muda is Penang’s primary raw water source and makes up more than 80% of PBAPP’s raw water supply, while the Muda and Beris dams, both located in Kedah, release water into the river. - FMT
