PENANG WILL NOT IMPLEMENT WATER RATIONING FOR APRIL BUT IMPLEMENT CONTINGENCY PLANS TO AVOID FUTURE WATER RATIONING IF DRY SEASON CONTINUES.<\/p>\n
PENANG, 2\/4\/2014: The efficient water supply management implemented by Penang Water Supply Corporation or PBAPP has allowed Penang to avoid water rationing in April 2014. If April 2014 proves to be another dry month, the Penang State Government and Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBAPP) will implement a contingency action plan to avoid water rationing by further upgrading our existing efficient water supply management and implementing water demand management measures.<\/p>\n
Amongst the water supply management includes:-
\n1.\tThe Penang State Government will request the Federal Government to initiate cloud seeding to create rainfall in the Muda Catchments to sustain the level of Sungai Muda;
\n2.\tThe Penang State Government will inform the Water Supply Department (Jabatan Bekalan Air) of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) to request Kedah to release water into the Sungai Muda to sustain a sufficient level for PBAPP to continue drawing water for water supply in Penang. KeTTHA had provided a written guarantee that water will be released from Kedah into the Sungai Muda whenever there is a shortfall, during the construction and defects liability period of the Mengkuang Dam expansion project. The costs of Kedah releasing water into the Sungai Muda, if any, would be borne by the KeTTHA.<\/p>\n
SUNGAI MUDA & DAMS STATUS UPDATE
\nThe most critical factor is the levels of Sungai Muda, from which PBAPP extracts more than 80% of Penang\u2019s raw water needs daily.<\/p>\n
As of yesterday, the recorded level of the river was 2.69 meters, which is still above the 2.0 meter \u201cAlert Level\u201d. PBAPP continues to draw water from this river today.<\/p>\n
Secondly, the effective water capacities for Penang\u2019s three main dams, which serve as strategic drought reserves at 2nd April as compared to [28th March 2014], are as follows:<\/p>\n
Dam\tEffective capacity (%)\tDuration of supply (days)<\/strong> The Penang State Government and PBAPP will appeal to the people of Penang to urgently conserve water at all costs to prolong dam storage reserves.<\/p>\n CONSERVE WATER NOW The state government is concerned that as a result of climate change, the drought we are facing now may not only persist this year but more worryingly may continue over the next few years. As such it is imperative that effective water demand management must be in force.<\/p>\n So far measures by the state government and PBAPP to reduce water demand management has not been successful whether through education or implementing Water Conservation Surcharge to impose penalties for water wastage. As such the Penang state EXCO has decided in our meeting this morning that whilst we will not impose water rationing for April 2014,we accept PBAPP’s management’s request to actively study increasing water tariffs to reduce water consumption.<\/p>\n In the meantime, we urge Penangites to conserve water and support the drive to avoid water rationing in Penang. Until the wet season arrives and Penang\u2019s raw water situation has stabilised, the public should use water wisely as follows: LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n Contact : Puan Syarifah Nasywa bt Syed Feisal Barakbah —–Mandarin Version —-<\/p>\n \u69df\u5dde\u9996\u5e2d\u90e8\u957f\u517c\u69df\u5dde\u6c34\u4f9b\u673a\u6784\u4e3b\u5e2d\u6797\u51a0\u82f1\u4e8e2014\u5e744\u67082\u65e5\u662f\u5728\u69df\u5dde\u53d1\u8868\u58f0\u660e\uff1a \u6c34\u575d\t\u6709\u6548\u50a8\u6c34\u91cf (%)\t\u4f9b\u5e94\u671f (\u65e5) \u73b0\u5728\u5c31\u8282\u7ea6\u7528\u6c34 \u5dde\u653f\u5e9c\u62c5\u5fc3\u7531\u4e8e\u6c14\u5019\u53d8\u5316\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u73b0\u5728\u53d8\u5bf9\u7684\u65f1\u5b63\u4e0d\u53ea\u53d1\u751f\u5728\u4eca\u5e74\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u6301\u7eed\u597d\u51e0\u5e74\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\u6211\u4eec\u8ba4\u4e3a\u63a8\u884c\u6709\u6548\u7684\u6c34\u9700\u6c42\u7ba1\u7406\u662f\u975e\u5e38\u91cd\u8981\u7684\u3002<\/p>\n \u76ee\u524d\u5dde\u653f\u5e9c\u53ca\u6c34\u4f9b\u673a\u6784\u7684\u51cf\u5c11\u6c34\u9700\u6c42\u7ba1\u7406\u4e0d\u592a\u6210\u529f\uff0c\u65e0\u8bba\u662f\u901a\u8fc7\u6559\u80b2\u8fd8\u662f\u5b9e\u65bd\u9644\u52a0\u8d39\u4ee5\u60e9\u7f5a\u6d6a\u8d39\u6c34\u7684\u4eba\u3002\u69df\u5dde\u884c\u653f\u8bae\u4f1a\u5df2\u7ecf\u5728\u4eca\u65e9\u51b3\u5b9a\u6211\u4eec\u4e0d\u4f1a\u57282014\u5e744\u6708\u8fdb\u884c\u914d\u6c34\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u63a5\u53d7\u69df\u5dde\u6c34\u4f9b\u673a\u6784\u7684\u7ba1\u7406\u9700\u6c42\uff0c\u79ef\u6781\u5730\u7814\u7a76\u8c03\u9ad8\u6c34\u8d39\u4ee5\u51cf\u5c11\u6c34\u7684\u6d88\u8d39\u3002<\/p>\n \u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u4fc3\u8bf7\u5168\u4f53\u69df\u57ce\u4eba\u6c11\u4fdd\u62a4\u6c34\u6e90\uff0c\u652f\u6301\u907f\u514d\u5236\u6c34\u7684\u4e3e\u63aa\u3002\u76f4\u5230\u96e8\u5b63\u5230\u6765\u53ca\u69df\u57ce\u7684\u751f\u6c34\u60c5\u51b5\u7a33\u5b9a\u4e0b\u6765\uff0c\u516c\u4f17\u5e94\u8be5\u8282\u7ea6\u7528\u6c34\u5982\u4e0b\uff1a \u6797\u51a0\u82f1 Press Statement by Y.A.B.

\nThere is a need to implement effective and efficient water demand management. Water consumption in Penang was the highest in Malaysia at 295 litres per capita per day (l\/c\/d) in 2013. For the first two months in 2014, the figure further increased by 5.4% to 311 l\/c\/d. This is 46.7% more than the national average of 212 l\/c\/d.<\/p>\n
