GEORGE TOWN: The few days of rain in Penang has helped maintain the water level in the state’s two functioning dams.
PBA Holdings Sdn Bhd (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said the water level at the Air Itam dam and Teluk Bahang dam stands at 57.2 per cent and 58.7 per cent, respectively.
“The level is the same as what we had announced two days ago.
“This shows that the input and output is the same.
“If we can maintain this input and output, we can last longer than predicted for the Super El Nino phenomena or June 2016,” he told reporters after the World Water Day 2016 celebration at the Air Itam Water dam here today.
Jaseni said he also urged the Federal government to continue implementing large-scale cloud seeding in the northern region.
