KANGAR: Perlis is not ruling out the possibility of carrying out water rationing in the state, should there not be rainfall over the next four days.
Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man said the move may be necessary if the water level at Timah Tasoh Dam drops further to 26.2 metres.
The water level at the dam presently stands at 26.29 metres, and based on the current temperature, the dam is losing about 0.02 metres daily.
"Based on the current situation, if rain still does not fall in the next four days, we will have to carry out water rationing.
"Further details such as the areas which will be affected will be discussed with the National Security Council," he told reporters on the sidelines of the state assembly sitting today.
He expressed hope there would be rainfall, based on the cloud seeding exercise to be undertaken for a week starting today.
