Malut Dam, Langkawi

Malut Dam is one of the sources of drinking water in Langkawi. It is located on the southern part of the island, near the Langkawi Golf Club. The construction of Malut Dam created the man-made Malut Reservoir. The water from Malut Dam is said to be high in iron and manganese, and this has to be reduced through an artificial aeration process.

There are several reservoirs in Langkawi supporting the water needs of the island. The main source comes from Padang Saga Reservoir and Bukit Changkuan Reservoir. Other reservoirs include the Teluk Nibong Reservoir, Padang Lallang Reservoir, Kuah Reservoir and Bukit Malut Reservoir.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
