JOHOR BARU: Continuous rainfall during the recent floods has greatly improved the water levels at three Johor dams that had faced critically low levels last year.
SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Abdul Wahab Abdul Hamid said the water level at the Layang dam in Pasir Gudang stands at 24.3m today compared to its critical level of 23.5m.
He said the Lebam dam in Kota Tinggi is 13.7m against its critical level of 12.27m.
Meanwhile, the Congok dam in Mersing registered 5.40m against its critical level of 4.5m.
"The water levels of all the dams in the state have stabilised due to continuous rain. The levels at three dams that had been most critical last year have improved.
"For instance, the storage level of water in the Layang dam is 60 per cent filled up.
"This enables us to store more water in times of drought," he said after flagging off a team of 20 SAJ staff on a three-day humanitarian mission and flood technical survey heading to Segamat from the SAJ Holdings headquarters here today.
