Groups: Water crisis likely

Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (AWER) is standing by its estimation that Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya would experience a water crisis by 2014 if the Langat 2 treatment plant conti­nues to be delayed and the demand in the state increases between 2% and 2.5% annually.
