THE situation at the Teluk Bahang and Air Itam dams is critical, says the Penang water authority. Deliverance hinges on the rainy season keeping its appointment next month.
RAW water reserves at the Teluk Bahang and Air Itam dams have dropped to dangerously low levels, raising concerns about shortages.
Up to yesterday, the Teluk Bahang dam was at 26.4 per cent capacity, while the Air Itam dam stood at 29.7 per cent.
Both are below the critical threshold of 30 per cent, which is considered a dangerous level.
Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk K. Pathmanathan said that without rain, the water at the Air Itam dam could last less than a month, and the Teluk Bahang dam could sustain supply for 80 days.
“However, we expect the rainy season to begin next month,” he told the New Straits Times.
Meanwhile, checks at the Teluk Bahang dam showed the water level had decreased significantly, with parts of an old road, submerged for the past two decades, now visible.
This road once connected Teluk Bahang and Balik Pulau.
Pathmanathan called on water users to cut their consumption by 10 per cent to conserve the remaining water.
PBAPP also requested cloud seeding to replenish the dams and is awaiting a response from the federal government.
Last week, the National Disaster Management Agency said the Teluk Bahang dam and two other dams were at dangerous levels, while five other dams, including Air Itam, were at warning levels.

PETALING JAYA:
Rain induced by cloud seeding has raised the water level at the Bukit Merah dam in Bagan Serai to 33% after it had fallen to 12% of total capacity a week before.
Executive councillor Nizar Jamaluddin said the cloud seeding was carried out on July 29-31. After the operation, (the water level) has increased to 33% in less than a week. I hope this improvement continues,
he said in Kuala Kangsar.
He thanked the National Disaster Management Agency and others involved in the operation.
The dam is located in the Kerian and Larut Matang Selama districts. Nizar said water supply for agricultural use is likely to be restored once the water level reaches 40% of total capacity, expected within the next two to three weeks.
