PETALING JAYA: Water consumption in the Klang Valley is expected to fall when the Aidilfitri balik kampung exodus starts today, but consumers had better brace for a mega water problem when residents return from their festive break.

According to experts, water supply in the area was worrying and could worsen after the Hari Raya holidays because of the falling levels at the Sungai Selangor dam and unusually dry spell.
