ISKANDAR PUTERI (Feb 3): Water levels at all 16 dams in Johor remain at safe levels and are operating well despite the state facing prolonged hot weather over the past month. Johor Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Communications Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said overall dam capacity in Johor currently exceeded 70%, indicating that raw water supply remained sufficient to meet current needs. “In Johor, we have 16 dams — 10 operated by the Johor Water Regulatory Body (Bakaj), four by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), one by PETRONAS and one by Singapore’s PUB [National Water Agency]. However, Mohamad Fazli said four dams had recorded water levels below 60% and required close monitoring, although they were not yet at critical levels. The dams are the Upper Layang Dam at 46.89%, Pulai 1 Dam (47.63%), Gunung Pulai 2 Dam (56%) and Lower Layang Dam (60.33%).
