Heavy rain expected in Johor until end of March due to monsoon transition FMTNews
A university professor says rivers that have become shallow because of development work must be deepened again to accommodate the heavy rainfall.
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Campus Sustainability director Fadhil Md Din said Johor was currently recording an average of 200mm of rainfall, way more than the 100mm on normal days. “The monsoon season transition this year is causing drastic weather changes, thus resulting in us getting more rainfall,” he said.
He said they need to clean the drains and ditches as well as prepare contingency plans for flood-prone areas like deepening the main rivers or embark on flood mitigation work.
