Penang looking to carry out more cloud seeding
The Penang government hopes additional cloud seeding operations will induce sufficient rainfall help bring up raw water reserves in the Air Itam and Teluk Bahang dams to 50%. – The Malaysian Insight pic, May 13, 2023.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the first operation carried out May 2-4 was considered fruitful following rainfall in both areas, although only at a minimal amount. “Although the amount is small, it really helped us prepare supplies so that clean water can continue to be distributed to users. We will request the help of the National Disaster Management Agency and the Royal Malaysian Air Force for future cloud seeding operations,” he told reporters.
On May 2, the RMAF and Malaysian Meteorological Department carried out cloud seeding operations in the catchment area of the Teluk Bahang and Teluk Air Itam dams after raw water reserves in both dams decreased.
