Unpredictable weather leads to yellow running water in Brunei, says govt agency

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Jan 31(Xinhua): The discoloration in Brunei's water supply is caused by unpredictable weather, the Public Works Department said.

"Prolonged rainy weather at the river raw water catchment area has caused changes in the state of raw water. It causes an increase in mineral and organic matter content, which in turn contributes to high levels of discoloration," local daily the Borneo Bulletin reported on Thursday quoted a statement from the Public Works Department as saying.
