GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is recommending a second wave of cloud seeding operations here as the raw water reserves of the Ayer Itam and Teluk Bahang dams are still below 50%.

Its chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan said the second cloud seeding is meant to optimise rainfall in the water catchment areas of both dams.
