MENGKUANG Dam in mainland Penang is not a “daily dam” but a strategic drought reserve dam, says Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan.

Unlike the dams in Ayer Itam and Teluk Bahang, he said, Mengkuang Dam was a reserve that supported the Sungai Dua water treatment plant (WTP).
