Called BD2, it could pump up to 270 million litres of water per day (MLD) to serve 315,000 people living in the southern parts of the island. PBAPP senior chargeman Mohd Yusri Awang checking the reading of a pump at the newly opened Bukit Dumbar Pump Station 2 in Penang. Its service areas cover Gelugor, Batu Uban, Sungai Nibong, Bayan Baru, Relau, Sungai Ara, Batu Maung, Bayan Lepas, Permatang Damar Laut, Teluk Kumbar, Gertak Sanggul, Genting and Balik Pulau. Penang Water Supply Corporation Sdn Bhd (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said the RM11.9mil BD2 would complement the operations of the Bukit Dumbar Pump Station 1 (BD1) that had been in service since 1980. He said it would improve pumping efficiency of water from the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant on the mainland to southern areas of the island which were undergoing rapid socio-economic development. “Treated water from the Sungai Dua plant is delivered to Bukit Dumbar daily via twin submarine pipeline,” Jaseni said at the launching of BD2 on Sunday. He said BD2 would also reduce pumping costs to the Bukit Gedong Reservoir daily to support the treated water needs of Teluk Kumbar, Gertak Sanggul and Balik Pulau.

  • Development of Forecasting in Sungai Muda, Kuala Muda, Kedah by Utilizing Artificial Neural Network (Ann)
    DEVELOPMENT OF FORECASTING IN SUNGAI MUDA, KUALA MUDA, KEDAH BY UTILIZING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (ANN). NURUL MURSHIDA BINTI MOHD SABRI Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Civil Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG DEVELOPMENT OF FORECASTING IN SUNGAI MUDA, KUALA MUDA, KEDAH BY UTILIZING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (ANN). NURUL MURSHIDA BINTI MOHD SABRI v ABSTRACT This report deals with flood problem which is usually happened in Malaysia when it coincides with monsoon and gave harm and damages to human life, as it had took many lives each time it happens. A case study of flood is going to be conduct to analyze the pattern of water level and to determine other causes that contributes to the flood. The main aim of the study is to minimize the effect of flood problems. It is also used to develop high accuracy model utilizing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in predicting flood. Furthermore, it used to forecast flood occasion in the study area of station number of 5606410 of Sungai Muda (Jambatan Syed Omar) which is the main river that supplies water to Kedah and Penang. Besides, it used to investigate whether water level data alone can be used to produce modelling and to determine whether ANN is functioning in the forecasting. In this case study, a computational model will be used to stimulate the input data and generate the result, which is called Artificial Neural Network. ANN, which are modelled on the operating behaviour of the brain, are tolerant of some imprecision and are especially useful for classification and function approximation or mapping problems, to which hard and fast rules cannot be applied easily.

  • Unable to Take Pollution in Sg Petani, Green Activist Moves to Penang
    8/2/2021 Unable to take pollution in Sg Petani, green activist moves to Penang | Free Malaysia Today (FMT) Unable to take pollution in Sg Petani, green activist moves to Penang By Predeep Nambiar - July 29, 2021 10:55 PM 186 135 22 23 Shares A Department of Environment officer based in Sungai Petani claims the pollution was mainly caused by wood-based factories which had open furnaces. (Freepik pic) GEORGE TOWN: An activist who fought against poor air quality due to open burning by illegal recycling factories in Sungai Petani has revealed that she moved out of Kedah due to such pollution. Having spent most of her life in the northern state, Persatuan Tindakan Alam Sekitar (PTAS) Sungai Petani’s Lydia Ong, 56, said her health was affected by the open burning, which continued unabated despite three years of campaigning by her group. She said she moved back to Penang six months ago after the acrid smell of burnt plastic became worse during the movement control order (MCO), and had even endangered her life because she was already suffering from breathing problems. At a forum organised by C4 Center today on imported waste, Ong said Kedah remained home to “hundreds” of illegal recycling factories burning non-recyclable waste in the wee hours of the morning despite repeated claims by the state that it would crack down on such operations. She added that with Covid-19 ravaging the Kuala Muda district, where Sungai Petani is located, the factories operated with impunity. She cited a wood products factory, branded illegal by the https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2021/07/29/unable-to-take-pollution-in-sg-petani-green-activist-moves-to-penang/ 1/3 8/2/2021 Unable to take pollution in Sg Petani, green activist moves to Penang | Free Malaysia Today (FMT) authorities before, spewing black smoke next to a hypermarket in town “24 hours, seven days a week”.
