PETALING JAYA: To face the coming El Nino phenomenon, consumers are being urged to conserve water as “every drop counts”, says the National Water Service Commission (SPAN).
Its chairman Charles Santiago said users could get daily updates on the state of dams and water treatment plants in the country through the war room set up on June 1 as part of its El Nino preparations.
“We are getting information on a daily basis from all water supply operators, which will be updated in our system for people to access.“It’s important to keep tabs on dams as these store water which goes into the water treatment plants,” he told The Star.However, Santiago revealed that the water level at three or four dams was currently below 50%.“Only when it drops to 30% and below is it considered an emergency,” he said.
He shared some water conservation tips such as reusing wastewater from washing clothes or vegetables and harvesting rainwater.
