Dr M: Adopt Danube River dam model to save forest


KUCHING: Sarawak can avoid flooding large tracts of forest land if it adopts the model of dam construction like that along the Danube River in Europe, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The former prime minister said the state, which had built and planned for several more major hydroelectric dam projects, could build high walls on both sides of a river in dam construction to save the forest and reduce the cutting down of trees.
