MetMalaysia, Nadma discuss cloud seeding amid haze, falling dam levels
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) is discussing another cloud-seeding operation with the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) amid worsening haze and declining water levels at several dams.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has expressed plans to conduct another cloud-seeding operation in response to worsening haze and declining water levels at several dams, according to a report by TV3's Buletin Utama. MetMalaysia deputy director-general (Operations) Ambun Dindang stated that the operation aims to boost water levels at dams, with the additional benefit of potentially reducing the impact of the haze currently affecting the country.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department is monitoring weather conditions and the availability of suitable clouds for the operation. Ambun also clarified that the haze is caused by forest fires in a neighboring country, not volcanic dust from a volcanic eruption in Java, Indonesia.
