Reservoirs in Selangor can sustain the state's water supply for up to three months even if prolonged hot and dry weather causes no rainfall, declared state executive councillor Datuk Ir Izham Hashim. The chairman of the Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee assured that reservoir levels remain stable despite a slight decrease, particularly at Sungai Langat Dam, which currently stands at approximately 78 percent capacity.
Izham clarified that the decline at Sungai Langat Dam is typical and will replenish soon. He emphasized that the remaining dams in Selangor are still above the 85 percent level. Moreover, even slight rainfall would further enhance the resilience of Selangor's water supply. Considering other sources, including off-river storage, the state's overall water supply could potentially extend beyond three months.
Addressing the 2026 Karnival Bendang, Izham anticipated around 5,000 attendees for the second edition of this event, which comprises 25 programs aimed at fostering cooperation and unity among paddy-growing communities. The carnival is returning for a second year following the positive reception of its inaugural edition last year.
Izham also highlighted that various paddy field-related activities are being organized to evoke memories of local community life.
