The Kuala Lumpur Irrigation and Drainage Department reported that a river in the Malaysian capital has exceeded danger levels, raising concerns about rising water levels. This situation arises despite no recorded rainfall in the area.
The government of Perak, Malaysia, is closely monitoring water levels in its main dams as they decline due to a persistent heatwave. The Bukit Merah Dam has reached a critical stage requiring careful water management.
Three dams in the Malaysian state of Malacca have experienced a significant drop in water levels, ranging from 10% to 30%, due to the current heatwave and lack of rainfall. Authorities have assured that water supply will remain sufficient until April.
