Water for the future


Malaysia is currently rich in water resources. However, the challenge moving forward is to manage our resources effectively.

WITH high rainfall and an abundance of rivers, Malaysia is currently rich in water resources. However, the challenge moving forward is to manage our resources effectively so that we will have enough supply to meet demand in the decades to come.

“Water supply in Malaysia is one of the best in Asia. We have penetration up to 95% for all our populated areas so we have no problems in terms of supply, but we have to manage it carefully, ” says Irrigation and Drainage Department (JPS) Director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohd Ghazali.
