Record low rainfall at Air Itam dam


GEORGE TOWN: Authorities are mulling a cloud seeding exercise to increase the water level of the Air Itam dam which has recorded only 122mm of rainfall since January – the lowest so far in eight years.

The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) said it is monitoring the situation, both at the Air Itam and Teluk Bahang dams, and is tightening daily draw-downs as far as possible without compromising water supply services.
