Johor ready for cloud seeding as El Nino looms from October

Johor is preparing for potential cloud seeding due to low water levels in dams ahead of the El Nino phenomenon expected from October to December.

The state government monitors dam water levels daily and has contacted the National Disaster Management Agency for cloud seeding arrangements as a precaution.

Although water levels are mostly stable, Johor anticipates challenges, with some dams possibly needing cloud seeding and additional measures like water pumping being considered.

JOHOR BAHRU, Sept 8 — Johor is prepared to conduct cloud seeding exercises if any of the state’s 17 dams experience low water levels in preparation for the El Nino phenomenon by next month, said Johor Public Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Communications Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh.

He said the current situation is under control as the state government monitors the water levels in dams on a daily basis.

“We are just preparing to face the super El Nino phenomenon which is expected from October to December.

“As a precautionary measure, we have also reached out to the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) for cloud seeding preparations.

“Johor may request formcloud seeding exercises done earlier before the drought period. At present, cloud seeding has been carried out in several states but not in Johor yet,” he told reporters after attending a taxi driver’s programme in conjunction with the Visit Johor Year 2026 at the Johor Tourism Information Centre (Jotic) here today.

Mohamad Fazli said Johor’s water levels in all dams are still at a stable level and some are also at a cautionary level.

“There are dam capacities that can last for up to six more months and only the dam in Gunung Pulai is in alert stage at the moment,” he said, adding that there is a possibility that the dam in Macap will also be affected.

However, Mohamad Fazli said the state government has not finalised the dams to focus on for cloud seeding.

He said that apart from cloud seeding, several other initiatives will be carried out such as pumping water from one water source to another on a smaller scale.

由于预计10月至12月厄尔尼诺现象将导致水坝水位偏低，柔佛州正准备进行人工增雨。

州政府每日监测水坝水位，并已联系国家灾害管理机构安排人工增雨措施，以防万一。

虽然水位基本稳定，但柔佛州预计仍将面临挑战，一些水坝可能需要人工降雨，并且正在考虑采取抽水等额外措施。

新山，9月8日讯——柔佛州公共工程、交通、基础设施及通讯委员会主席莫哈末法兹里·莫哈末·萨利赫表示，如果下个月厄尔尼诺现象来袭时，柔佛州17座水坝中的任何一座水位过低，柔佛州已做好准备进行人工增雨作业。

他表示，目前局势在控制之中，因为州政府每天都在监测水坝的水位。

“我们正在为应对预计从10月到12月出现的超级厄尔尼诺现象做准备。”

“作为预防措施，我们也已联系国家灾害管理机构（Nadma）进行人工增雨准备工作。

“柔佛州可能会要求在旱季之前进行人工增雨作业。目前，一些州属已经进行了人工增雨，但柔佛州还没有，”他今天在柔佛旅游信息中心 (Jotic) 出席了与“2026柔佛旅游年”相关的出租车司机培训项目后告诉记者。

莫哈末·法兹利表示，柔佛州所有水坝的水位仍然稳定，部分水坝的水位也处于警戒水位。

“水坝的蓄水能力可以维持长达六个月，目前只有普莱山水坝处于警戒状态，”他说道，并补充说，马卡普水坝也有可能受到影响。

然而，穆罕默德·法兹利表示，州政府尚未最终确定要重点进行人工增雨的水坝。

他表示，除了人工增雨外，还将开展其他几项举措，例如小规模地将水从一个水源抽到另一个水源。
