KENINGAU: The Keningau Irrigation and Drainage Department (JPS) is rotating the distribution of water supply to paddy fields under the Bingkor and Bingkor Lama Irrigation Scheme from Nov. 1 to Jan. 23, 2024.
Assistant Public Works Minister Datuk Robert Tawik @ Nordin said this is due to the hot weather that hit the district lately.He said the Keningau JPS District Engineer has issued a circular to all Village Heads, JKKK Chairman and Block Leaders in the areas involved.
According to Robert who is also Bingkor Assemblyman, JPS’ action of rotating the distribution of water to the paddy fields is to enable farmers to get equal distribution of water. He said, Bayayo River water at this point is not enough to be distributed to the entire Bingkor and Bingkor Lama Irrigation Scheme simultaneously.“Thus, it is requested to all JKKK Chairmen, Village Heads, Block Heads and Block Committees involved in the Bingkor and Bingkor Lama Irrigation Schemes to inform the farmers to store water in the paddy fields until the quantity of water in the Bayayo River returns to normal,” he said.
