KUALA LUMPUR: Increasing river pollution has resulted in water treatment plants in Selangor and the Federal Territory having to shut down more frequently, causing more cases of water supply disruption, the Malaysian Water Association said. 

Statistics revealed by the association showed that there were 94 cases of water treatment plants having to shut down in the first four months of this year, with turbidity, or heavy silting, being the reason for 90 of those cases.
