Drying lake?

Front-page news in The Star today showing low water levels in dams around the country. I happened to be at the Pedu Lake yesterday where the Mutiara Pedu Lake Resort is. I have been to this place many times over the years and this is the lowest water level here that I have seen. I remember when we stayed overnight here, we could cast a fishing line from our chalet balcony. Water in this lake is meant to be used for irrigation purposes mainly and I hope the people concerned have their calculations correct regarding how much water is left in the lake for the next padi planting season etc. Now that the water is low one can see dead tree tops previously submerged and it does look sad to see a lake like that. Not many visitors at the resort, apart from our group there was only a Caucasian family. We had traditional Malay set lunch, the food was ok and the service good. Good place for a quiet retreat if you don't mind the 'eerie' view surrounding the resort.
