Air Itam Dam
Commissioned in 1962, the Air Itam Dam has a maximum effective capacity of 2.16 billion litres of water. The Air Itam Dam still serves as an important component of Penang’s water supply infrastructure. The top water level is 235 metres above sea level and its storage capacity is tapped to sustain continuous good water supply in the Air Itam township and nearby highland areas.
The refreshing environment has a loyal following amongst walkers, runners and cyclists, some of whom enjoy the challenge of “climbing up” a 200 metre ascent. Upon reaching the dam premise, there is also a 2.6km “circuit”, winding around the perimeter of the dam, including its 243.8 metre crest.
