Integrated approach needed to fight raw water contamination


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Throughout 2019, the Klang Valley experienced disruptions in water supply at least nine times, a good number of which were due to contamination of the raw water supply.

Water disruptions can also be caused by technical problems, maintenance works at treatment plants, burst pipes, and high turbidity levels of the river water – but the most worrying among them is the contamination of raw water as a result of oil and diesel spills and discharge of toxic effluents into rivers by unscrupulous factory operators.
