Water level at Bukit Merah Dam reaches crit­ical status

The water level at the Bukit Merah Dam has reached Stage Three Irrig­a­tion Crit­ical Status, with the cur­rent reser­voir level recor­ded at 6.294 metres.

Perak Infra­struc­ture, Energy, Water and Pub­lic Trans­port Com­mit­tee chair­man Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamalud­din said the water at the dam stands at 9.3825 mil­lion cubic metres, equi­val­ent to 17.22% of its total capa­city.

He said no rain­fall was recor­ded in the past 24 hours and weather con­di­tions at the dam were clear.

“For dam gate oper­a­tions, con­trolled water release through the out­let gate is ongo­ing. At Ter­usan Selin­s­ing, two gates are opened at 20% (488mm), while at Ter­usan Besar one gate is opened at 3% (73mm),” he said in a state­ment yes­ter­day.

He added that the spill­way remains closed as the water level is well below the over­flow threshold.

For irrig­a­tion intake, the dis­charge rate is 0.566 cubic metres per second to Ter­usan Besar and 6.230 cubic metres per second to Ter­usan Selin­s­ing, in line with cur­rent irrig­a­tion needs.

Mohammad Nizar emphas­ised that con­tinu­ous mon­it­or­ing and prudent water release man­age­ment are cru­cial to ensure the irrig­a­tion sup­ply could be sus­tained for a longer period.

He also expressed appre­ci­ation for the cooper­a­tion of the dam and irrig­a­tion teams in ensur­ing its man­age­ment remains safe and effect­ive.

On Tues­day, Deputy Prime Min­is­ter Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who chairs the National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee, said cloud seed­ing oper­a­tions would be car­ried out in Johor, Kedah and Perak until Sunday, includ­ing at the Bukit Merah Dam. – Bernama

NADMA laksana 10 pembenihan di Johor, Kedah dan Perak

10 operasi pembenihan awan di 3 negeri

Cloud seed­ing for three states

KUALA NERUS: Cloud seed­ing oper­a­tions will be con­duc­ted in Johor, Kedah and Perak after water levels at sev­eral dams dropped due to pro­longed hot weather, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Min­is­ter said the oper­a­tions will be car­ried out from today until Sunday.

“Although dam levels remain at the alert stage, early action is needed to pre­vent them from reach­ing crit­ical levels,” he told report­ers after a Rural and Regional Devel­op­ment Min­istry retreat, Bernama repor­ted.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also National Dis­aster Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee chair­man, said cloud seed­ing will take place at the Upper Lay­ang, Pulai 1 and Machap dams in Johor today, Thursday and Sunday.

There will be cloud seed­ing exer­cises at the Pedu, Muda and Ahning dams in Kedah, as well as Bukit Merah Dam in Perak on Fri­day and Sat­urday.

On another mat­ter, Ahmad Zahid said com­pan­ies owned by agen­cies under his min­istry must oper­ate as com­pet­it­ive, sus­tain­able entit­ies with a per­form­ance-driven approach that deliv­ers tan­gible bene­fits to the people.

He said in a com­pet­it­ive cor­por­ate envir­on­ment, every lead­er­ship team must be brave in mak­ing stra­tegic decisions for the sus­tain­ab­il­ity of the organ­isa­tion.

“I am con­fid­ent that with bold lead­er­ship and con­sist­ent dis­cip­lined exe­cu­tion, the min­istry’s agency-owned com­pan­ies can become cata­lysts for a more pro­gress­ive and sus­tain­able rural eco­nomy,” he said, adding that these points were con­veyed dur­ing the retreat.

Ahmad Zahid said trans­par­ent, high-integ­rity and high-per­form­ance gov­ernance must under­pin com­pany man­age­ment.

He said the earlier trans­ition from a cost centre to a profit centre was start­ing to yield res­ults, with sub­si­di­ar­ies report­ing higher rev­enue and stronger profits.

“However, these achieve­ments are only a found­a­tion for fur­ther pro­gress.

“The next pri­or­ity is to ensure all profits are trans­lated into bene­fits for the people through optimal asset util­isa­tion, strength­en­ing the rural industry value chain, and lever­aging data as a new source of rev­enue gen­er­a­tion.”

Operasi pembenihan awan di tiga negeri bermula esok - Ahmad Zahid

KUALA NERUS: Beberapa operasi pembenihan awan akan dilaksanakan di tiga negeri iaitu Johor, Kedah dan Perak mulai esok hingga Ahad (15 Feb) ini.
 
Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata operasi pembenihan awan itu dibuat berikutan paras air beberapa empangan di negeri tersebut semakin menyusut disebabkan cuaca panas yang berterusan.
 
"Sekarang ini kita sedang mengalami musim Monsun Barat Daya. Meskipun (paras air di empangan) hanya di peringkat amaran tetapi kita tidak mahu tunggu sampai ke peringkat kritikal baru hendak berusaha," katanya kepada pemberita selepas Sesi Penggulungan Kementerian Kemajuan Desa dan Wilayah (KKDW) dan Syarikat Milikan Agensi Tahun 2026, di sini, hari ini.
 
Ahmad Zahid yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara berkata lokasi yang terlibat dengan operasi pembenihan awan tersebut ialah Empangan Upper Layang, Empangan Pulai 1 dan Empangan Machap di Johor, masing-masing akan dilakukan pada esok, Khamis dan Ahad.
Pada Jumaat dan Sabtu pula, katanya, lokasi yang terlibat ialah Empangan Pedu, Empangan Muda dan Empangan Ahning di Kedah serta Empangan Bukit Merah di Perak.
