Singapore refuses Johor cloud seeding


Drying out: The Sungai Lebam dam earlier this year. Its current level has dropped below the one pictured.

JOHOR BARU: Singapore has put a dampener to a suggestion to conduct cloud seeding over two Malaysian dams here which are experiencing critical water levels.

The island will not allow for any cloud seeding to be carried out at Sungai Lebam dam in Kota Tinggi and the Layang dam in Pasir Gudang because the activities have been deemed to be encroaching into its territory.
