SHAH ALAM, 18 Nov: All eight dams in Selangor have recorded an increase in the water level, with all over the rate of 50 percent.
According to the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) website, as of 8.00am today, the Sungai Selangor Dam which supplies about 60 percent of water to Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor is now at 54.77 percent.
About four months ago, the dam was at a critical level, causing the water scheduling to be implemented to cope with water shortage.
Meanwhile, the Batu Dam was recorded to be at 94.75%, Klang Gate Dam at 97.73%, Sg. Labu Off-River Storage (ORS) at 66.10% and Langat Dam at 100%.
Meanwhile, Semenyih Dam is at 72.73%, Sg Tinggi Dam at 51.81% and Tasik Subang is at 73.11%.
The increase comes as a relief to the residents of the Klang Valley after the water level recorded a decline several months ago that led to the water scheduling being implemented.
The recent high rainfall helped in the increase of the water level at the dams.
