PUTRAJAYA (April 1): The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) will carry out four series of cloud seeding operations in Perak, Kedah, Perlis, and Johor, from April 6 to 9, as a proactive measure to increase water levels in dams affected by prolonged hot weather. “These conditions have not significantly helped to increase dam water levels, thereby affecting water resources and the agricultural sector, and also impacting the daily lives of the people, particularly vulnerable groups in rural and interior areas,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. The cloud-seeding operations will focus on 11 dams: Timah Tasoh dam in Perlis; Ahning, Pedu and Muda dams in Kedah; Temenggor and Bukit Merah dams in Perak; and Lebam, Upper Layang, Lower Layang, Gunung Pulai and Machap dams in Johor. “This measure is a proactive effort to restore water levels affected by prolonged hot weather. He added that all relevant agencies must channel information to the SDCC for coordination and recording, including data on dam water levels, raw water supply, soil moisture levels in critical areas, landslide-prone zones, flood-prone areas, and other related information.
